| Photo D: To test how their helmet would perform in fast-moving water, students Michael Cordeiro and Chang Lee strapped the prototype onto a dummy's head, fastened it to a wooden frame, marked the helmet's position on the dummy and put it in the path of a high-pressure fire hose. |
 |
| Photo E: Chang Lee aims the fire hose at the prototype helmet to determine if how it will respond to the forces of a whitewater stream. |
