The purpose was to investigate whether the Point Two Air Jacket was likely to worsen injuries to the neck and spine and what level of injury risk benefit could be achieved during a chest impact in a typical horse fall. Based on this study, the following statements summarise TRL’s main observations.
There is no evidence that the PTJ would exacerbate spinal injury and in fact, during rear impact testing, it provided the greatest reduction in the neck and pelvis loading In combination, the BETA and PTJ provide reduced loading for the majority of performance measures and therefore improved protection to the wearer when compared to the BETA alone.
The PTJ may have extended performance benefits beyond the fall scenarios
considered.
The PTJ , when used with a BETA Level 3 body protector, improves protection to the spine by up to 69%
1The PTJ, provides approximately 45% more protection for the lower spine than a BETA level 3 jacket alone
2 The PTJ,, with or without BETA jacket, reduced the risk of rib fractures and
underlying organ damage, by as much as 20%3
