Testing Crash Helmet in a Hard Way

It takes a special kind of courage—or perhaps a lack of sobriety—to become a human test dummy. In 1912, a bold gentleman straps on a prototype football helmet, much to the intrigued scrutiny of three onlookers. Instead of using a test dummy, this daring soul is ready to take the impact himself.

Whether he’s fortified by sheer nerve or perhaps a couple of stiff drinks, one thing’s for sure: this guy is built differently. As onlookers hold their collective breath, our brave tester prepares for impact. Forget the modern, rigorous safety tests; this is old-school innovation at its most daring!
