Anecdotal evidence suggests that soft tissue neck injury may be an occupational hazard for fighter pilots, particularly those in the later generation trainer and combat aircraft. Recent advances in helmet-mounted devices increase the potential for injury. There is an acute need for guidance on the maximum mass and mass distribution characteristics of head-mounted devices. The Symposium discussed the extent of risk and its control through the design of helmet-mounted devices, protective systems and aircrew training and conditioning.
