An all fiberglass prototype glare shield has been evaluated in terms of head injury protection. In 30-ft./sec. head impacts, a protursion is designed to fold down over the heavy instruments, offering significant improvement in head injury protection when compared to current aircraft instrument panel design. Design changes to eliminate a fracture point and incorporation of fiberglass glare shields of similar design in future general aviation aircraft could lead to a significant reduction of head injuries during crash decelerations.
