Low threshold energy management refers to a helmet's ability to effectively manage and mitigate the impact forces associated with low-energy or low-velocity impacts. These are typically impacts that occur at lower speeds or involve less force compared to high-velocity impacts. While traditional helmet testing and certification standards primarily focus on high-velocity impacts, low threshold energy management recognizes the importance of addressing the risks posed by lower-energy impacts. These impacts may occur in various real-world scenarios, such as minor falls, collisions at lower speeds, or other low-impact incidents.
