Dataset of Assessing Bicycle Helmet Protection for Head and Neck in E-Scooter Falls

This dataset was built from experimental tests of e-scooter crashes against a curb. Six e-scooter forward falls, induced by a curb collision at 20 km/h, were simulated in sled tests using a Hybrid III 50th percentile anthropomorphic test device, with and without a helmet. The curb was positioned either perpendicularly or at a 55° angle to the e-scooter's trajectory. The dataset includes head linear and rotational accelerations, upper neck loads (force and moment), chest and pelvis accelerations, chest deflection, as well as high-speed video of the crash tests and pre- and post-crash photos.

Authors would like to thank all personnel at DEKRA Crash Test Center in Neumünster, Germany, involved in designing and executing the crash tests.
