car</a> and <a href="/wiki/Rallying" title="Rallying">rally</a> drivers. Motor racing has long been known to be an exceptionally risky sport:<sup id="cite_ref-changes_1-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-changes-1"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>1<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> sudden deceleration forces on the head can easily occur if a racing car loses control at the very high speeds of competitive motor racing or the rough terrain experienced in rallying.<sup id="cite_ref-changes_1-1" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-changes-1"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>1<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> A risk more nearly unique to motor racing is the possibility of drastically severe burns from fuel igniting when the fuel lines or fuel tank of the vehicle are jolted sufficiently to dislodge or breach them in a situation in which the driver cannot soon enough escape from his car. This happened to world champion driver <a href="/wiki/Niki_Lauda" title="Niki Lauda">Niki Lauda</a> at the <a href="/wiki/1976_German_Grand_Prix" title="1976 German Grand Prix">1976 German Grand Prix</a> race at the <a href="/wiki/N%C3%BCrburgring" title="Nürburgring">Nürburgring</a> in a crash from which he barely escaped alive. </p><p>It is known that the percentage of racing accidents resulting in <a href="/wiki/Hospital" title="Hospital">hospitalisation</a> in motor racing, at around 25 percent, is higher than any other major international sport<sup id="cite_ref-physical_2-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-physical-2"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>2<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> and that the average period in hospital is the longest. A recent Australian study also suggests motor racing may have the highest rate of actual injury among major sports.<sup id="cite_ref-risk_3-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-risk-3"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>3<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> However, a study conducted between 1996 and 2000 by Fuji Toranomon Orthopaedic Hospital in <a href="/wiki/Shizuoka_City" class="mw-redirect" title="Shizuoka City">Shizuoka</a> suggests that only a small proportion of these injuries are actually to the head or surrounding areas.<sup id="cite_ref-4" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-4"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>4<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p> <meta property="mw:PageProp/toc" /> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="History">History</h2><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Racing_helmet&action=edit&section=1" title="Edit section: History"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <p>Analogous to <a href="/wiki/Football_helmet" title="Football helmet">gridiron football</a>, cloth<sup id="cite_ref-head_5-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-head-5"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>5<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> or leather helmets with <a href="/wiki/Goggles" title="Goggles">goggles</a> to protect drivers’ eyes from dust were used by many pre-<a href="/wiki/World_War_I" title="World War I">World War I</a> racing drivers<sup id="cite_ref-helmets_6-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-helmets-6"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>6<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> and already in 1914 the Auto Cycle Union made helmets compulsory for drivers of its racing vehicles. However, these helmets did nothing to prevent massive head injuries or burns during the numerous crashes encountered even when races were moved onto private tracks.<sup id="cite_ref-head_5-1" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-head-5"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>5<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p><p>In the period following the war, concern about head injuries in motor racing continued to grow much faster than efforts to design safer helmets. Some racing drivers in the 1920s and 1930s were known to wear football or fire-fighting helmets as these offered better protection than standard racing headdresses of the time. Even though hard-shell helmets were used in <a href="/wiki/Motorcycle_racing" title="Motorcycle racing">motorcycle racing</a> during the 1930s,<sup id="cite_ref-7" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-7"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>7<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> it was not until the 1950s that a hard-shell helmet specifically designed for motor racing emerged,<sup id="cite_ref-head_5-2" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-head-5"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>5<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> and extremely soon after the first metal helmets were developed, <a href="/wiki/Formula_One" title="Formula One">Formula One</a> made helmets of this type compulsory for all drivers.<sup id="cite_ref-helmets2_8-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-helmets2-8"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>8<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> <a href="/wiki/NASCAR" title="NASCAR">NASCAR</a>, however, did not make full-face helmets compulsory<sup id="cite_ref-NASCAR_9-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-NASCAR-9"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>9<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> until after the death of <a href="/wiki/Dale_Earnhardt" title="Dale Earnhardt">Dale Earnhardt</a> in 2001. </p><p>Although helmets had been mandatory in other races beforehand, the new technology greatly improved safety and allowed the use of higher speeds. <a href="/wiki/Bell_Sports" title="Bell Sports">Bell Sports</a> developed the first mass-produced auto-racing helmet in 1954.<sup id="cite_ref-chequered_10-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-chequered-10"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>10<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p><p>By the end of the 1950s, full-face crash helmets were regarded as essential equipment for drivers in all forms of motor racing, and the <a href="/wiki/Snell_Memorial_Foundation" title="Snell Memorial Foundation">Snell Memorial Foundation</a> developed the first auto racing helmet standards in 1959.<sup id="cite_ref-chequered_10-1" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-chequered-10"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>10<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> Since that time, the alternative standard to that of Snell has been that of the <a href="/wiki/F%C3%A9d%C3%A9ration_Internationale_de_l%27Automobile" title="Fédération Internationale de l'Automobile">Fédération Internationale de l'Automobile</a>, whose standards are used in Grand Prix racing.<sup id="cite_ref-helmets2_8-1" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-helmets2-8"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>8<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> The <a href="/w/index.php?title=Safety_Helmet_Council_of_America&action=edit&redlink=1" class="new" title="Safety Helmet Council of America (page does not exist)">Safety Helmet Council of America</a> also developed a race-car helmet standard in the 1970s, but currently only provides certification to the <a href="/wiki/Department_of_Transportation" class="mw-redirect" title="Department of Transportation">Department of Transportation</a> which does not certify racing car helmets. </p><p>Since racing helmets became general standard equipment, there have been many improvements made to their design to cope with the increases in power and speed of racing cars. The most recent of these has been the development of flexible “tethers” so that a head inside the helmet cannot snap forward or to the side during a wreck.<sup id="cite_ref-NASCAR_9-1" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-NASCAR-9"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>9<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="Construction">Construction</h2><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Racing_helmet&action=edit&section=2" title="Edit section: Construction"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <p>In most respects, auto racing helmets are not dissimilar to motorcycle helmets in construction, since they have similar requirements of protecting against extremely high-speed collisions.

In contrast, auto racing helmets must have fire protection since a driver is not likely to be able to escape if a car catches fire.</li> <li>Auto racing helmets can have a narrower field of view for greater head protection than is possible in a motorcycle helmet, especially when the driver is following a clearly defined track. For this reason, many auto racing helmets are illegal to use on a motorcycle <a href="/wiki/Street-legal_vehicle" title="Street-legal vehicle">over public roads</a>.<sup id="cite_ref-11" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-11"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>11<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup></li> <li>Auto racing helmets must be tested for sharp collisions with a roll bar which a motorcyclist is not likely to encounter.</li></ol> <p>The fire-proof material used in racing helmets occurs in the inner lining and is known as <a href="/wiki/Nomex" title="Nomex">Nomex</a>, having been first introduced to racing helmets in 1967. In the 1960s and 1970s as crash fireproofing developed, concern became raised that in ordinary use racing helmets offered very little ventilation because they have more complete head coverage than any other type of helmet.<sup id="cite_ref-thermoelectrically_12-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-thermoelectrically-12"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>12<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> Practical solutions to this problem were not developed until the 1980s when thermoelectric cooling was developed;<sup id="cite_ref-thermoelectrically_12-1" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-thermoelectrically-12"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>12<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> however, most customers and governing bodies have preferred alternative less sophisticated means of improving ventilation over the past thirty years. </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="Personalised_designs">Personalised designs</h2><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Racing_helmet&action=edit&section=3" title="Edit section: Personalised designs"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <figure class="mw-default-size" typeof="mw:File/Thumb"><a href="/wiki/File:AyrtonSennasFullFaceHelmet.jpg" class="mw-file-description"><img src="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/c/c7/AyrtonSennasFullFaceHelmet.jpg/170px-AyrtonSennasFullFaceHelmet.jpg" decoding="async" width="170" height="227" class="mw-file-element" srcset="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/c/c7/AyrtonSennasFullFaceHelmet.jpg/255px-AyrtonSennasFullFaceHelmet.jpg 1.5x, //upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/c/c7/AyrtonSennasFullFaceHelmet.jpg/340px-AyrtonSennasFullFaceHelmet.jpg 2x" data-file-width="1024" data-file-height="1365" /></a><figcaption><a href="/wiki/Ayrton_Senna" title="Ayrton Senna">Ayrton Senna</a>'s helmet</figcaption></figure> <p>Many drivers – especially in open-topped cars such as Formula One cars – will have bright, vivid designs to help distinguish them from other drivers.
