Test Data

Following are links to test data results from Wayne State University Bioengineering Center NASCAR sled tests. Tests on the Wright Device prove the redundancy of the system with acceptable numbers on all tests.

Neck acceleration (Fz) is reported for all devices, indicating the amount of stress on the neck during a impact. Values over 4500 N-m can be fatal.
