1、Designation: F2400 06 (Reapproved 2011)An American National StandardStandard Specification forHelmets Used in Pole Vaulting1This standard is issued under the fixed designation F2400; the number immediately following the designation indicates the year oforiginal adoption or, in the case of revision,

2、the year of last revision. A number in parentheses indicates the year of last reapproval. Asuperscript epsilon () indicates an editorial change since the last revision or reapproval.INTRODUCTIONPole vaulting by its very nature carries a risk of serious injury and even death. Participation in polevau

3、lting (just as in other sports involving speed, heights, and falls) implies acceptance of this risk.Measures to significantly reduce this risk include, first and foremost, the use of regulation sized polevault pits and padded standard base covers, along with the removal or padding of any adjacent ha

4、rdsurfaces. Education of pole vault coaches and athletes is another important risk reduction measure.Helmets might be part of a plan to reduce risk as well. A helmet that meets this specification mightbe helpful for certain events like a bounce out, a fall while exiting the pole vault pit, or other

5、impacts.A helmet, however, is not likely to prevent serious injury or death if a vaulter lands outside of the polevault pit and strikes his or her head after a vault.1. Scope1.1 This specification covers performance requirements forhelmets to be used in the activity of pole vaulting.1.2 All testing

6、and requirements of this specification are tobe carried out in accordance with Test Methods F1446 exceptwhere noted in this specification.1.3 Partial utilization of this specification is prohibited. Anystatement of compliance with this specification shall be acertification that the product meets all

7、 of the requirements ofthe specification in their entirety. A product that fails to meetany one of the requirements of this specification is consideredto have failed the specification and shall not be sold with anyindication that it meets parts of the specification.1.4 Helmets designed to comply wit

8、h this and other stan-dards may proclaim uses as certified by the manufacturer.1.5 The values stated in SI units are to be regarded as thestandard.1.6 This standard does not purport to address all of thesafety concerns, if any, associated with its use. It is theresponsibility of the user of this sta

9、ndard to establish appro-priate safety and health practices and determine the applica-bility of regulatory limitations prior to use.2.

Conditioning5.1 Conditioning of test samples shall be in accordance withthe requirements of the section on Conditioning Envir

11、onmentsof Test Methods F1446.6. Selection of Headform6.1 The appropriate size headform shall be selected basedon the headform size selection terminology of Test MethodsF1446 for the helmet to be tested. Headforms to be used shallbe as specified in Test Methods F1446.1This specification is under the

12、jurisdiction of ASTM Committee F08 on SportsEquipment and Facilities and is the direct responsibility of Subcommittee F08.53 onHeadgear and Helmets.Current edition approved Nov. 1, 2011.

Reference Marking7.1 Marking the test line shall be in accordance with theReference Marking requirements of Test Methods F1446.7.2 The preload ballast weight shall be 5 kg.7.3 Mark the test line ABCD on the helmet as shown in F

15、ig.1.8. Helmet Inspection8.1 The configuration requirements of the section on Con-figuration in Test Methods F1446 shall be satisfied.8.1.1 In addition, for this specification no aerodynamicfairings will be allowed as pole-vaulters try or tend to land ontheir back.8.1.2 Ventilation ports are allowed

16、 as long as all otherrequirements of this specification are met.8.1.3 When mounted on the reference headform in accor-dance with the section on Reference Marking of Test MethodsF1446, determine the minimum distance from the headform tothe outer surface of the helmet at any point above the test line.

17、In this context, the outer surface can be defined by conforminga flexible strip of steel to the outer surface. No portion of thehelmets outer surface shall be more than 15 mm further fromthe surface of the test headform than the minimum distance.8.1.4 Lateral visual clearance shall be unobstructed t

18、hroughat least 105 to each side of the median plane and upwardvisual clearance must be unobstructed through at least 40above the reference plane.8.1.4.1 The clearance for peripheral vision will be checkedby placing the helmet on each appropriate headform, position-ing it according to the helmet posi

19、tioning index, and holding itin place with the preload ballast weight of 5 kg. The clearancemust include the upward visual clearance and the lateral visualclearance. The helmet shall be tested with all detachablecomponents removed and all adjustable components set in themost unfavorable manner for t

20、he test. No part of the helmetshall intrude into the required clearance.8.1.4.2 The upward visual clearance is the solid anglebounded by the reference plane of the headform and a secondplane tilted upward from the reference plane. This second planeintersects the reference plane at two points on the

21、front surfaceof the headform that are 31 mm to the right and left of thelongitudinal plane as shown in Figure 13 of Test MethodsNOTEThe center of impact can be anywhere on or above the test line.FIG. 1 Test LineF2400 06 (2011)2F1446. The dihedral angle formed by the reference plane andthis second pl

22、ane shall be at least 40.8.1.4.3 The lateral visual clearance, as shown in Figure 13of Test Methods F1446, is the solid angle bounded by thereference plane, the basic plane and two more planes that areperpendicular to the reference plane and that contain the pointon the front surface of the headform

23、 at which the reference andlongitudinal planes intersect. Each of these two planes forms adihedral angle with the longitudinal plane as specified in theindividual standard. This angle shall be 105.8.2 The materials requirements of the section on Materialsin Test Methods F1446 shall be satisfied.8.3

24、Labeling Requirements:8.3.1 Each helmet shall contain labels that satisfy thelabeling requirements of Test Methods F1446.8.3.2 In addition, one or more of the interior labels of thehelmet shall have the words: for use in the sport of polevaulting.8.4 The interior projections requirements of the sect

25、ion onInterior Projections of Test Methods F1446 shall be satisfied.9.
