The Virginia Tech Helmet Lab has released their ratings for whitewater helmets, evaluating how effectively headgear protects against head injuries like concussion. This is the eighth major ratings release for the lab, which has been redefining sports safety since they first published ratings for varsity football helmets in 2011.
