Research
The Snell Memorial Foundation has been actively conducting and
supporting research to understand the nature and severity of head
and brain injury and to increase head impact protection in such
activities as bicycling, motorcycling, auto racing and other non-motorized
recreational activities. Basic studies of injury mechanism and protection,
as well as field research related to injury severity and causation
have been undertaken.
