BEAR engineers also analyze body dynamics in various situations to determine if various exercise machines, includinginclined bench presses and spinning machines, might cause injury.
Incline Bench Press
BEAR engineers instrumented a bench and dynamically measured head forces in order to see if a neck injury could be caused by the force of one push downward with the head on the bench pad. The results from our calculations were instrumental in settling the case.

Spinning Machines
In another case, BEAR engineers examined spinning machines to calculate the peak leg impact force that could potentially cause a leg or foot injury. BEAR analysis helped settle the case.
