Abstract Head injury sustained in accidents remains a leading cause of death and disability, even though considerable advancement has been made with respect to injury prevention. Successful prevention relies on a sound understanding of injury mechanisms and knowledge of the biomechanical responses, as investigated in various experimental studies. More recently, research addressing the consequences of rotational head loading has received significant attention. This holds particularly true for sports, where concussion is a major topic, but also for applications such as helmets and corresponding test standards in other fields where the rotational component is subject to scientific debate. Furthermore, the increased use of human body models (HBMs) continues to offer new insights. Accordingly, previous research has been critically questioned, new experiments have been conducted and new injury criteria have been proposed.
