And lemme guess, this revolutionary helmet is priced at $1500 a helmet with those owners drawing a $500K salary.

[@ESmith]

Best way to resolve concussion issues is to remove the helmet altogether. The issue is the perceived safety to crush an opponent with their head. Rugby do better with minimal headgear because they have concern for their own heads when giving hits.

[@ESmith]

Yeah, I realize that. The problem is the inability to stop the want of watching two 220 lbs men bashing their heads together. Nothing, short of Kelso style helmets will really help, Im afraid.

[@not677]

The argument against removeing the helmets is that skull fractures and brain bleeds will be alot more common

[@rigid1454]

I played football for years and i be jes fine.

[@wilgall702]

So we need to go back to the old school ways with leather and the shoulder pads would have a little cushioning so it's not as hard when you hit your head on the shoulder pads but we would also need to add some extreme passing in the back to prevent concussions when a player falls back and hits there head with more force

[@prestong515]

smith288 they should make the face mask not too stick out so much

[@jamaladamsgoatnewjackcitys35]

[@MustacheMenace117]

does it work?

[@deutsch-amerikanisch8281]

You still can get a concussions but it helps.

[@MustacheMenace117]

I was wondering how it counteracts g force inside the skull but it could help lower the number of severe concussions.

[@bmil38]

hockey helmets have never been like that, its just like the first example, a hard plastic shell with foam padding on the inside

[@jamaladamsgoatnewjackcitys35]

nope. the new bauer ones have the tube technology in them.

gonna be honest, i've been playing tackle football sicne i was 6, i've only been play free safety that whole time, never been knocked out or gotten a concussion from football ever, and now i'm the starting free safety on my freshman team in highschool, actually i have gotten a concussion snowboarding and i've been snowboarding since i was 7, i was knocked out COLD, and had a serious concussion, i also had a seizure while i was out. so that's just what iv'e experienced. btw this is my little brother's channel not mine so if you here a squeaky kid talking it's not me it's my brother

[@vegeta9411]

you swear the nfl wants lose billions by lawsuits, and fans because they don't want their kids to play. with this whole advance technology they are going to do whatever it takes to build helmets for less concussion. however, I saw a study that there's more concussion in soccer.

[@kellengonda1863]

that study is 102921213% wrong

[@prestong515]

Have the face mask not stick out so much then put a soft like foam on the shoulder pad then if that doesn't do anything then put plastic face mask if that doesn't do anything then no helmets

[@shock80ey]

You can prevent the big ones and the repetitive ones by teaching different technique, playing long with the arms, rugby tackles ect... but the general in the moment collisions need to be addressed, and i think this helmet is a step in the right direction. From my personal experience as a player and a coach, the helmets need to be smaller and softer, as well as the shoulder pads. Ask any boxer who has sparred with head gear and they tell you that bigger target hurts the brain much more.

[@joew.1675]

It was about time someone came up with a better helmet. Something that was never said, was whether their helmets are being used by players or not. They only said that they are backed by some players.

[@allhailmegatron8043]

Helmets are one of the big reasons for concussions not the sport.

[@patrickmartin8783]

No helmet can stop a concussion

[@TempleSquire]

@@patrickmartin8783 He's saying they're the reason, people get concussions. The external skull, was designed to flex, but the extra height and weight of a helmet, transfers motion to the spine and conditions players to aim with their head lowered.

[@ThomasHouy21]

P.N M another thing to think about is that when you have a helmet on you subconsciously become more reckless. You feel like you are shielded.

[@asamcclellan7086]

that's not true

[@Notjaycee6]

right just like whats wrong with antoino brown he has signs of cte and he never wanted to wear a new helmet he wanted to use his old same same helmet and that helmet casued most of his cte some helmets are designed just to make a hlemt not for actual safety

[@MopishCorn74736]

Xenith is a great helmet idk about this one cause I don't own one and I haven't used one but my xenith comfortable and I've taken hits in it that should have given me a concussion but I never got one

lmao I just got one yesterday and I have a xenith.

[@Diari]

[@arivo9062]

people love watching other people crashing into each other at a speed and force equivalent to a motor collision impact and paying big buck for that. no matter how better the design is this game is clearly meant to leave concussion behind.

[@snackattack9755]

I quit football in my senior year of HS to play rugby. The loss of my helmet naturally made me hit properly and avoid head contact. Padless football or simply rugby might be the future in the US... I doubt it though.

[@howardbaxter2514]

The main problem with improving helmets to protect players from concussions, is that it causes players to feel this false sense of security. Players begin to feel invincible wearing these helmets, causing players to focus less on form, and more on the bigger hit.

[@flippinnngiraffe808]

Not that much anymore. NFL put a lot more rules in how to hit and when to hit

[@KingGev1017]

People sit here and blame the helmets. But we need to look at the players. You can avoid a concussion if you play smart. Not saying it won't happen. But playing right helps a lot more.

[@theschwahntruckguy9008]

Our school team are practicing these tackles that pretty much takes the head out of the tackle, and I just got a helmet that works a lot like in the video

[@TempleSquire]

I feel the more durable the helmet, the harder the neck and spinal column absorbs a blow to the crown. Maybe it needs a "Crumple Zone", a section made to collapse, so the spine isn't bearing the weight.

[@jrcortez7323]

This helmet wont stop Kam Chancellor ❗

[@humzahhassan4521]

Good we're going towards a direction where helmets take the contact or absorb it before it reaches head but at higher levels collisions r harder so it won't work at nfl and could be really effective in high school

[@teem1653]

Put springs ..soft foam springs that reduce impact ...put 36 foam high density springs

[@coreysoze7556]

Change the NFL for the better, nice!

[@gjshepherd8688]

all helmets should be made like this from now on

[@808G8GT]

And to thing football helmets started with just leather wrapped around a thin layer of foam padding with no face mask. Revolution

[@jakeg8604]

I feel like this brand will get either beat out in sales to Riddell, Schutt, and Xenith. Or their design will be bought out by a bigger brand like the ones I mentioned.

[@itsphilly2423]

you cant really solve this issue , maybe it will prevent the damage but because of players feeling safer and having more confidence in the helmet it will make them want to hit harder than before practically countering the upgrade. this is why many believe rugby is much more violent than football but in the end with the padding players will hit harder because of the decreased risk of hurting themselves

[@meljenkins1016]

Human cranials were not designed like a woodpeckers cranials by nature. A woodpeckers cranial was design to withstand the constant impact created when it burrows on the side of a tree.

[@SooperFlye]

The problem isn't the helmet or any other equipment that players use in football. *It's the way football players play*. And the way they play without certain body protection. Football players, unlike any other sport, invites high speed contact, and often times they lead with their head. *EXAMPLE: A 6.2', 235lb running-back, that runs a 40 yarder in 4.2 seconds.* _If people can only imagine what it might feel like getting hit by Adrian Peterson of the Vikings, the average person wouldn't become conscious until the next day_. Get my drift? Football players crash & throw their bodies around like no other sport. The contact they make is murderous. And back to the uniform, all levels of football (i.e., high school, college & pro) rarely put on equipment that is readily available to them. Knee pads, shin pads, hip pads, neck brace, forearm pads, elbow pads, front & back thigh pads, rib pads (quarterbacks mostly) and larger shoulder pads. Football players chose not to wear these things because they don't want to sacrifice speed. *SPEED*: which is the main culprit for football injuries of all types.

[@bmil38]

Wow... impressive I feel the same way about hockey, but the problem isn't as severe as it is in football

[@gmanunreal]

Hockey players aren't diving at each other's legs for hits on every minute of play. Most of their hits are body to body.

[@HawksNestYT]

SooperFlye they is no RB that is 6'2", 235 lbs, and runs a 4.2 lmao. But i still see what you mean. The main culprit isn't speed. It's lazy and untaught technique. Leading with the head is the main culprit. If you can prevent that, you reduce concussions ten fold.

[@kingpaid995]

SooperFlye they aren't trying to hurt them that's the problem they aren't thinking they they would get hurt from what tackle they make mainly cause they don't know if the tackle was that hard to that person Good point though some football players do it on purpose

[@sebastianvivas9300]

[@guitarlearningtoplay]

They will need something closer to a race car driver helmet with neck brace

[@amc7098]

curious how they promote soccer as a safer sport, but it requires you use your head with no protection. Whatever happened to doing what you loved to do instead of scaring people into doing something else. Football is a great sport and teacher of many aspects in life. Proper technique plays a role in the safety as well.

[@TheMrweaver447]

the issue isnt in the helmet, it is with in the brain. How can we prevent the from moving around. As long as the brain moves we have an issue. Less impact yet over time is the problem.

[@eZROFLxX]

if it's comfortable I'm Happy, those other helmets made my head hurt and sometimes bleed

[@obi1corleone288]

Mmm...I don't know. I still remain skeptical. This is a good step, but I can easily see linemen hitting harder because of it. It's like the old adage: "Build a better mousetrap, etc..." I still say get rid of helmets altogether. But then they might start playing paddy-cake.

[@selflessreaper8687]

My idea for design Deers and such animals with horns have something that absorbs all the force so they can hit using some of that as a shell over the helmet would absorb the force

Unless the speed of football is slowed down to 2 MPH there is no way to keep the brain from hitting your skull at such a fast pace. Some concussions stem from other players deliberately aiming for the head rather than the body.

[@austink4623]

If anyone has played football, then they have read the warning on the helmet that says 'This helmet HELPS PREVENT CONCUSSIONS it is not 100% effective.'

[@pbeyes2006]

Preventing concussion is teaching players how to tackle properly, most of the football players tackling head first..

[@banneruser7006]

Where's the fun in not spearing

[@imateapot51]

There is not a fix for football. I notice the high school by me does not hit in practice but I hear multiple helmets banging in every game. At least not in practice like the old days. When a CTE test can be done conclusively on the living then football may decline or disappear completely. It is really sad to see so many NFL players I cheered for with CTE. I would think soccer could be an issue as well, at least on goal kicks and punts and corner kicks.

[@adamhall9233]

At this point technology cannot go any further in prevention. It's more technique based.

[@nickpeterson4691]

Concussions are a problem but the even bigger issue is the test. On multiple occasions people lie to get out of practice to avoid getting hit we need to somehow create a better test to actually see the numbers of concussion s people have. Another fact is that even at the high school level kids can't hit hard enough to give that blow, the main issue there is the ground impact that causes this.

[@coleg1724]

Nah that isn't true I just recently had a concussion where I got blindsided in the back of the head, but I never hit the ground, and it was a jv football game

Quidditch is a fast going sport that will soon be speedy and full of high tech such as my new idea of a segway for the sport and others new ideas for balls for the sport to decrease the game down to only players and reffs on the field. If your willing to be the first to create and offer us a real life quidditch helmet I can promise that you'll corner the market in this sport. The sport is going to soon need helmets and pads with our circle working around the clock to both advance and better the game. This idea will not only be good for Olympic, pro, college, high school, and youth quidditch but also to fan that like to play for fun and act as there favorite player or hero in the sport as well. So as you can see the helmet will also make for a very great gift as well. To see what it looks like just watch the sixth Harry Potter film but if I was you I'd add some eye and face protection as well. Much like football or hockey but in its own way as quidditch fans and player like things to be more quidditchish in tradition. If willing please create a helmet for quidditch. You will deffanently profit from it.
