    History of Motorcycle Helmets and How They Have Improved

    Wednesday, January 4th, 2012

    The history of the motorcycle helmet can be dated as far back as 1885, when the first helmets were introduced. These helmets were very crude in comparison with the modern motorcycle helmets that are now available. They consisted of a leather cap that was lined with a material based from plants called pith. With time, these helmets became obsolete due to the fact that they did not offer much protection once motorcycles began to become more powerful.

    Starting in 1931, Harley-Davidson and Indian Motorcycles began to run races that caused the number of deaths during motorcycle accidents to dramatically increase. It was during this time that Professor C.F. Lombard began to develop a helmet that could withstand the impact of a crash. This helmet was created with the absorption of the crash in mind. A comfortable layer was cushioned by an outer layer that absorbed shock waves but was also able to distribute them evenly to prevent fatalities.

    By 1953, Lombard received a patent for this helmet and started the frontier of modern motorcycle helmets. Once the standard helmet had been created, many other motorcycle helmet distributors began to follow the design that was first created by Lombard.

    Motorcycles helmets have been improved using high-absorption sponges and advanced plastics to protect a rider. They are typically constructed of expanded polystyrene foam and an outer shell that will protect the skull. Visors are made of Lexan glass to improve the chances of any type of penetration by sharp objects. The ultimate function of a motorcycle helmet is to protect the skull from an type of punctures and to provide a cushion that will de-accelerate a rider’s head during impact. This will lead to a decrease in force that is placed on the skull of a rider.
