Observations after a fatal motorcycle accident suggested that the face bar of a full-face helmet may transmit an impacting force to the skull base via the chin strap and the mandibular rami and condyles, bypassing the energy-absorbing facial bones. If this mechanism is confirmed, the structural properties of these face bars will need to be reassessed.
一起致命摩托车事故后的观察结果表明，全脸头盔的面罩杆可能会通过下巴系带以及下颌支和髁突将冲击力传递至颅底，从而绕过具有能量吸收功能的面部骨骼。如果这一机制得到证实，就需要重新评估这些面罩杆的结构特性。
