Look at how far helmet technology has come, and I mean in anything, racing helmets, football, hockey, lacrosse, downhill mountain biking. The effect it has in reducing brain/head injuries is crazy. I have had big hits, was concerned about a concussion, I got checked out and was fine. If I wore nothing and my head absorbed all the force, I would of definitely been out cold for a second.

[@acedogg692005]

With all this new technology why does it seem like there's a head injury every game? I don't remember it being that bad years ago...

[@jakeesayian2687]

Helmet weight. Literally as simple as that.

[@jared9407]

It's because your brain is sitting in your skull surrounded by fluid. Now if someone alligator rolls you and you're head whiplashes back like when Tua got his concussion against the Packers. The helmet will protect your skull and will absorb some of the impact, but it cannot really stop your brain from moving around in your head. So when your head hits the turf, your brain still bounces the inside of your skull pretty violently, which results in trauma. After repeatedly getting rocked like that week after week, your brain will eventually just give out, and you'll start to develop CTE. Ask anyone who has played football, most of them get brain damage at some point. its always been an issue, even back in the day. It's just more apparent now, because people know about CTE. The sport is violent and these players are aware of the risks.

[@Mike335is]

You charge and arm and leg for the helmet for a price that nobody can afford, unless you’re a D1 or NFL team, and there’s no guarantee it’ll do what’s it’s supposed to do. Riddell has been scummy for years, half of this video is buzz words and pseudo testing. All you care about is profit and pleasing the shareholders.

[@jason_l5p]

Based on this comment I can tell you have no idea what your talking about. I have been in the industry for 15+ years. These helmets speak for themselves. Helmet technology has come along way, concussions have dramatically been reduced in the past 20 years. All helmet manufacturers are held to the same NOCSAE standards. On top of that, Virginia Tech University has been testing all helmets every year since 2011 and rate each helmet every year.
