Women have a stronger head than men

The weakening of the helmet has a thicker skull than the male, and this may cause the helmet design experts to reconsider.

Picture 1 of Women have a stronger head than men Jesse Ruan from Ford Motor Company and colleagues at Tianjin University of Science and Technology, China, examined brain scans of 3,000 patients at Tianjin No. 4 Central Hospital and found that there was a difference. Interesting differences between the sexes

Although the weak's skull is smaller than that of a man, the average is thicker. If the average thickness of the male skull is 6.5 millimeters, then it is 7.1 millimeters for women. This difference may affect helmet research and design efforts in traffic accidents.

" The next step of the research will be to find out how this difference will cause early effects in men and women, and so we can design a more appropriate helmet ," Ruan to speak. Although the thick skull will provide better protection, the skull shape is also a factor. Therefore, researchers will also have to find out which features are more important.

Another finding of the study is that the skull is thin with age.
