Testing a Football Helmet
Captured in 1912, this remarkable photograph shows a man hurling himself headfirst into a wooden wall — part of a bold and rather unorthodox test of an early football (soccer) helmet prototype. Surrounded by amused onlookers in flat caps and heavy coats, this moment captures the spirit of Edwardian-era ingenuity, where even the riskiest experiments drew a crowd.
