Aviation accidents frequently result in death or injury - occupant flail with resultant head injury is the leading cause of fatality and serious injury in Army helicopter accidents. Inflatable restraints are a proven safety technology in the automotive world, and airbags are being developed for Army helicopters as well. Other applications in transport safety such as inflatable motorcycle helmet collars and inflatable restraint harnesses may be useful in aviation - research is underway in exciting novel areas. There are many questions to be answered before airbags and similar systems can be fielded in aircraft. Hot issues range from the unique characteristics of a helicopter crash pulse to the effects of unintended airbag deployment on injury and aircraft control. Tools useful in this research include computer modeling, anthropometric test devices, cadaver research, and flight simulation/testing.
