This paper examines the need for trained life support equipment specialists to maintain the protective capability of Army aviator's helmets (SPH-4). One-hundred helmets selected at random from the user population were evaluated for ability to attenuate impact forces, attenuate noise, and afford eye protection to the Army aviator. The evaluation revealed that protection was compromised in the majority of helmets in all three functional areas. The individual airman is responsible for maintaining his own equipment; no trained equipment personnel are available to inspect or maintain the helmets. The applicability of such a survey is suggested in the case of motorcycle and construction helmets.
