I'm all for reducing concussions, but couldn't they come up with something that's looks less stupid?

No one is going to wear them. Or maybe a handful of guys that are paid to.
NFL and other pro sports are all about not looking like a pussy and that is a definition of a pussy hat. Every opposing player would rip on him. Just like with all of the NHL players that refused to wear helmets. You had guys grandfathered in that were still helmet-less in the late 90s. NFL will likely have drastic helmet and rule changes in the future. Lots of studies are coming out showing the long term affects of helmet hits are much worse than what people imagine. |

JFC. They took a 5XL rugby scrum cap and stretched it out over a football helmet.
 Aside from looking ridiculous, what does this realistically add that better/thicker shock attenuating material inside the helmet would not? |

They will evolve and likely end up looking like the normal helmets. Difference will be no 'CRACK' sound when they hit.

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By CavVet: It's either they develop something that protects the brain or watch the game go away You can only do so much, unfortunately. Current generation helmets are already very very good with direct impacts. It’s the rotational impacts that cause most of the bad concussions (especially from other impact sports like hockey). |

I remember some science show on Discovery or TLC back in the 90s showing a football helmet under development that combined the hard helmet and shoulder pads together for a rigid structure, then the player wore a soft helmet inside it to prevent concussions and neck injuries.

It's an extra large rugby scrum cap.
Wearing a scrum cap saved me from a number of concussions, but I still got a few anyway. |

Pretty sure the NFL is going to ignore my suggestion, yet again, where they give everyone clubs with spikes and to do away with all rules other than whoever can get the ball across the goal line wins.

Aside from looking ridiculous, what does this realistically add that better/thicker shock attenuating material inside the helmet would not? It attenuates a lot of the peak impact from helmet-to-helmet hits. Two hard surfaces colliding makes for a rapid jolt. And it makes the helmet less effective as a "weapon", so players are less likely to be intentionally hitting other players with their heads. |

I remember a few, particularly mactavish who o think was the last holdout. I also remember when only pussies wore the face shield. Now it's the neck gaitor to protect against blades. I've seen a few wearing them, but suspect in 10 years everyone will be. |

Looks like that thing is going to cause more neck injuries from grabbing equipment than saving concussions.
If the NFL wasn't 100% retarded they would put G force sensors on the helmets...like the cheap stickers that show when you go past a certain amount of G's...do the maths and then put them in the helmet. Then Look at the helmet after the games and see who got the shit knocked out of them. Then they can administer medicine to reduce inflamation..like the Paul Staments mushrooms shit. or what ever the hell they want to use. |

If they want to reduce head injuries, go back to using leather helmets. Without a battering ram, players will stop leading with their heads.

Rugby is doing that with "smart mouth guards" They can determine how many gs have been involved in a hit. If it reaches a certain threshold, the player is taken off the pitch for head injury assessment |
