Abstract
Motorcycle usage varies in all countries for a great variety of factors, while these tend to be a more economic mean of transportation, they also lack the security that cars provide to a certain extent. This means that the necessity of developing a conditioned helmet rises, especially in less developed countries. Traffic accidents are the result of advances in the modern world because as distances have increased between different points, it becomes more necessary to use vehicles. What has led to consolidating this tool as an essential part of life; so much so that, concerning them, a significant fraction of the urban space has been configured. Year after year, the mortality related to this cause takes many lives, also it entails many psychophysical disabilities that produce a significant impact at the level of public health in the population. The damages and sequels generated by the crashes, whatever the form, can be of great importance and the quality of life of people could be affected for a long time. Before the creation of a new design, the necessary tests should be generated to detect the most vulnerable points of the skull, as well as the study of the causes and effects of accidents that occur on motorcycles.
