How we test
Just like our product, we wanted to think outside the box when
creating our test rig. Since most crashes we as riders experience are
very violent and can include multi-directional forces experienced all at
the same time, a better real-world testing method needed to be
developed. The team at DRI was able to develop and create a custom
built, repeatable forward/downward pendulum test rig (think Superman in a
flying position) that not only measures deflection in the direction of
our choice, but also compression to the head and neck caused by the
secondary action of the body’s weight crashing down behind the head as
it typically does in various violent motorcycle crashes. With our one of
a kind test rig we are able to repeat controlled tests with our dummy
face up, face down, and/or sideways with impacts into a custom built
adjustable-angle surface to mimic various scenarios of common crashes.
For example, with our dummy swinging horizontally to the ground, face
down, into a 90 degree surface we are able to simulate a very common
“lawn dart” scenario of a rider going over the bars, and impacting head
first into the ground, a berm, or an upcoming jump face. This type of
testing gives us extremely useful, and repeatable test data that we can
use to further develop our products and the impacts that they face.
Our Dummy is made up of an instrumented upper torso surrogate fitted
with a Hybrid III head-form and a Motorcycle Anthropometric Test Device
(MATD) neck, which was specifically developed (and certified) by DRI to
be more realistic for data acquisition during motorcycle crash scenarios
than a standard car crash type neck. Previous research at Dynamic
Research has indicated that on the Hybrid III test dummy, the shoulder
position relative to the head and neck is too low and not realistic of a
50th percentile adult male. In order to remedy this situation, a
special upper torso was fabricated using a 50th percentile adult male as
a casting model. Special attention was paid to the location of the
shoulders relative to the head and neck in order to confirm that the
surrogate was representative of the 50th percentile adult male.
Instrumentation on the surrogate included a 9 accelerometer array
mounted inside the Hybrid III head-form for measurement of linear and
angular accelerations as well as a 6 degree of freedom upper neck load
cell that monitored three dimensional forces and moments. A digital high
speed video camera collecting data at 1000 frames per second is used to
capture all impacts. The complete upper torso fixture, and the MATD
neck are shown below.

First put on your brace, and test the fit. The chest, back, and
shoulder padding should be resting snug against your body when adjusted
correctly. Next, decide on a height setting that will provide you with a
sufficient range of motion and eye sight while riding. You can opt to
use, or not use, the supplied height spacers. After choosing a height
preference, fine tune to fit your chest thickness. Each adult brace
features our rear Smart Mounts. Smart mounts are reversible to make the
brace fit a thicker chest, and they also feature 3 angle adjustments to
help fine tune the fit. If the brace is too tight and not resting down
flush on your shoulders, try reversing the position of the Smart Mounts.
Certain body types may want to adjust the angle of each back support,
and you can choose from -10, 0, or +10 degrees to make sure each back
support sits flat against your upper back.
Each adult brace comes with our Hybrid strap - It combines the
versatile function of the common elastic “X” straps, with the comfort of
a chest strap. To wear the Hybrid Strap, put it on just like a t-shirt -
First put each arm through one of the sides, then lift it up and put
your head through the middle, making sure the thinner straps end up over
top of your shoulders, and the thicker straps end up around your chest.
Adjust all 4 straps to the desired length - It works best when the
thicker straps around your chest are sitting flat, instead of pulling at
an upward angle. You can wear the Hybrid strap over or under your
jersey.
