Despite significant advances in accident prevention, crashworthiness, and individual protective equipment, head and torso injuries continue to cause death and disabling injuries in survivable Army helicopter accidents. Most of these injuries are caused by the occupant striking internal structures. The purpose of this study was to review Army helicopter accident records to determine the number of fatal and disabling injuries in pilots and copilots that could be prevented with the introduction of an airbag supplemental restraint system into U.S. Army helicopter cockpits.
