Modern helmets are designed to minimize the risk of brain damage by penetration and by blunt impact; where facial or ocular injury is likely, facial protection may be provided by visors, goggles or full-face helmets. The effectiveness of helmets should be monitored by studies of actual injuries; historically, surgeons have done this, in war and peace, for centuries. | | Journal Title | Australian & New Zealand Journal of Surgery | | Journal Volume (Issue) | 66(5) | | Page Range | 314-324 | | Page Count | 11 | | Notes | Available from CASR library on request |
