Virginia Tech Helmet Lab turns research into safer choices , videoThe Virginia Tech Helmet Lab works with athletes, workers, safety professionals, industry groups, students, and other partners to turn real-world safety challenges into research — and research into practical information people can use. Community experience helps shape the questions researchers study, from youth football to construction sites. In the lab, faculty and students recreate real-world impact conditions, test helmet performance, and translate the findings into independent, publicly available ratings that help consumers, employers, coaches, and families make more informed decisions about head protection. Through this ongoing exchange, the Helmet Lab demonstrates how community-engaged research can connect university expertise with the knowledge and needs of the people it is intended to serve. Learn more about the Virginia Tech Helmet Lab and explore its helmet ratings at helmet.beam.vt.edu.
