Asuperscript epsilon (e) indicates an editorial change since the last revision or reapproval.INTRODUCTIONBull riding is a sport with intrinsic hazards. It is recognized that it is not possible to write
3、 aprotective headgear with faceguard standard specification that will result in headgear with faceguardsthat can protect against injury or death in all accidents. Because of complex interactions of variablessuch as bull motion, bull size and weight, rider size, direction and point of impact, and ind
4、ividualdifferences in reaction to impact forces, it must be kept in mind that injuries are still possible. It is alsorecognized that serious injury or death can result from both low-energy and high-energy impacts, evenwhen protective headgear with faceguard is worn. It is further recognized that pro
5、tective headgearwith faceguards must be acceptable to the user and to the regulating associations or agencies requiringits use.In bull riding, where the force of impact between the bull and the face of the rider can cause headand facial injury, there is a need for both head and facial protection. Af
6、ter careful consideration of themechanisms and forces involved in this context, this standard specification for headgear withfaceguards has been prepared, using resources in medical, scientific, mechanical engineering, humanfactors, and biomechanical fields.This specification is a series of laborato
7、ry tests of the protective headgear with faceguard. Theheadgear testing measures its ability to reduce head acceleration when impacting various shapedobjects. The faceguard testing checks its ability to limit contact with the user face to reduce thepotential for facial injuries.This specification in
8、corporates many aspects of other recognized headgear standard specifications.Other intentions that were not amenable to testing or inspection are offered as guidelines:(1) The chin strap should be attached in a manner to enable the headgear with faceguard to remainin its normal position on the weare
9、rs head during bull riding and impact conditions;(2) The physical characteristics of materials used in construction of the headgear with faceguardshould retain their shock-absorbing characteristics under the influence of aging, use, or exposure totypical environmental conditions;(3) The faceguard sh
10、ould not significantly interfere with the vision of the wearer; and(4) In the event of injury, the headgear with faceguard should be removable without causingmovement to the cervical spine. The access provided shall be sufficient for the administration ofcardiopulmonary resuscitation to the wearer.1
11、. Scope1.1 This specification covers performance requirements anddescribes test methods for protective headgear with faceguardsfor use in bull riding.1.2 All testing and requirements of this specification shallbe in accordance with Test Methods F 1446, except wherenoted herein.1.3 Partial utilizatio
12、n of this specification is prohibited. Anystatement of compliance with this specification shall be acertification that the headgear with faceguard meets all of therequirements of the specification in their entirety. A headgearwith faceguard that fails to meet any one of the requirements ofthis speci
13、fication is considered to have failed the specification,and shall not be sold with any indication that it meets parts ofthe specification.1.4 Headgear with faceguards designed to comply with thisand other standards may proclaim uses as certified by themanufacturer.1.5 The values stated in SI units a

Significance and Use4.1 The purpose of this specification is to provide reliableand repeatable test methods for the evaluation of
19、 headgear withfaceguards for bull riding. Headgear with faceguards satisfyingthis specification are intended to reduce forces reaching thehead in some of the impacts that may occur in bull riding andto limit contact with the facial features of the rider.5. Certification5.1 This specification permits
20、 self-certification. It is recom-mended that each manufacturer employ an independent testlaboratory at least annually to test each model and size ofheadgear with faceguard offered for sale.6. Apparatus6.1 Apparatus used for this testing shall be in accordancewith Test Methods F 1446 except as noted
21、below.6.2 Reference or Full-facial Headform to be used shall be asspecified in:6.2.1 The section on Other (Reference) Headforms of Speci-fication F 2220.6.2.2 Standard drop test method and equipment used inevaluating the performance characteristics of protective head-gear of NOCSAE DOC.00146.3 Simul
