Beerball Posted January 31, 2012 Posted January 31, 2012 link link II the device measures the force and impact of a shot through the chin to the brain
CodeMonkey Posted January 31, 2012 Posted January 31, 2012 I applaud the effort. I wonder why the SB though and not during the season, if not the entire season. Media exposure I guess. I sure they hope they come up with some solution. It is a shame to see these guys become drooling idiots at 50 from all the concussions. It is worse when you consider all the HS and college players that get the brain injuries and don't even get the NFL money.
NoSaint Posted January 31, 2012 Posted January 31, 2012 (edited) CNN had a pretty good special on highschool players and head injuries. Showed a helmet with 9 sensors that reports back magnitude and direction on just about anything that touches the helmet Edited January 31, 2012 by NoSaint
shrader Posted January 31, 2012 Posted January 31, 2012 I couldn't help but wonder right away what was so special with it, that it actually buckles? But it's good to see that some people actually care. Hopefully it works.
K-9 Posted January 31, 2012 Posted January 31, 2012 Well, he is a Patriot so it's not surprising he'd be wearing a revolutionary chin strap. He's gonna look pretty stupid in that three-cornered hat, though. GO BILLS!!!
