A Short Note On The Testing Phase ( Beta ) Of Software Or Hardware

Can a wrestling headgear be more harmful than beneficial? The name implies nothing to what the headgear is really used for. Ear guard is a less common name for it. Designed to be worn by wrestlers during a match, headgears are used to protect the ears from being damaged. A match can not be started, if either of the wrestlers does not have a proper headgear on. Having had the experience of wrestling in high school, I know what it is like to wear a headgear. Yes, headgears have their pros sides, but these pros are outweighed by what damage headgears can actually cause.

Safety and equipment have come a long way in football in order to prevent brain injuries. A very important piece of equipment used to prevent brain trauma is the helmet. The helmet has evolved a lot over the years, even more in the past decade. The Helmets main purpose use to be just to stop skull fractures, then they added the facemask to prevent facial injuries. Concussions are more of a recent concern (Hand 1). Overconfidence in the helmets' protective power prompts many NFL athletes to deliver and accept hits that would have killed players of previous generations. Now the helmet is being revolutionized. Helmets aren't only being created to stop skull and face fractures but they are being created to help prevent brain damage such as concussions now. Helmets have gone through testing to see how to design a better preventative helmet. These newer helmets are being designed to reduce the amount of force that is being applied to the head by a hit that is received (Vandantam 2). Virginia Tech football has been monitoring helmet collisions since 2003, courtesy of Dr. Gunnar Brolinson. Dr. Gunnar Brolinson has outfitted the teams helmets with six sensors and a small antenna that records and transmits data to a computer on the sideline. This information collected is crucial because it will help find better ways to design a helmet that will prevent concussions(Goldman 1). Equipment isn't the only important part of football that can help prevent concussions.

After suffering from head injuries during his football career, he believed that there had to be a better way to make a football helmet. It was believed he spent years doing research and development on helmets and launched his first when he felt like it was up to his standards of protection. All of their football helmets feature Adaptive Head Protection– a system of technologies designed to protect against both linear and rotational forces. Xenith is the only manufacturer to exclusively produce 5-Star helmets under the widely accepted Virginia Tech star system. Other companies have 5-Star helmets, but they also produce 4-Star, 3-Star and 2-Star products. They believe in a philosophy is that if a helmet does not excel under the most stringent testing available, it should not be on the field. That belief system inspires innovation and led to the Xenith EPIC being crowned as the top ranked helmet in the 2015 NFL Health & Safety

Researchers later found out that headgear is not protecting their brain. A competitor’s brain is still being shook around the skull. The requirement of wearing headgear is now optional to these sports.

4%-20% of all injuries in soccer are head injuries. Concussion and head injuries are a big part of soccer, many younger players should have to wear protective headgear while playing. Also, many of these head injuries that players sustained during soccer can affect them for the rest of their life with things such as CTE. Even though many people don’t want to change the game of soccer, at a certain age players should have to wear headgear if they want to head the ball because the brain damage kids can get from heading the ball can affect them for life, and it would decrease the amount of concussions the sport has per year.

“NFL helmets will never be 100% safe and players with never be 100% safe from concussions. In the article he claims,”We’re expecting a mere 1.5 inches of foam and candy shell to decelerate a player’s head gently enough to prevent their brain from bouncing around inside their skull and causing poorly understood, but permanent and devastating injury. After talking to some of the brightest minds in helmet design, helmet testing and football physics, the elephant in the room became clear: A concussion-proof helmet is a pipe dream. If the NFL wants concussion-free football, they’ll need to redesign

Have you ever thought about the safety of your friends or family that play such a rough sport such as football, and are scared that they can have an injury that can permanently hurt them forever such as a concussion that can ultimately lead to a brain disease. Well that is the reason why not as many parents aren't letting their kids play football. At little league and such a small age they aren't happening as often but are still an issue but at a bigger stage such as the NFL they are a huge issue and occur more than they should. Ever since the NFL and Riddell have been making stronger and supposedly safer helmets concussions have been happening more than ever. Also researchers from (“Frontline”) say about

You are 2.65 times less likely to suffer a concussion when wearing a concussion band according to Fortune. The concussion-prevention headbands, a relatively new technology in the fight against concussions in sports. And while there's little scientific research showing these headbands can prevent concussions, increased awareness about concussions — and their consequences — has made them a more visible option. A typical concussion band cost anywhere from thirty-five to fifty dollars. The most common brand is Full 90. Full 90 products have been sold to roughly two hundred thousand soccer players worldwide. I personally have own one of them. There is no guarantee that any concussion head band it one hundred percent effective but it is certain to reduce the risk. The concussion band is designed like a barrier to cushion the player as they head the ball, come in contact with another player,and or fall on the green grass. Manufactures of headgear are constantly researching and designing ways for there concussion headbands to become more effective. If a concussion band is proven to reduce your risk of getting a concussion who wouldn't want to use it, especially if there is no chance for it harming you in any

The use of protective headgear in contact sports has been a major issue of discussion amongst the sporting community for many years. Some people believe that headgear should be compulsory for all contact sports because they decrease the rate of catastrophic head injuries and they give the athlete a greater sense of security that there will be less head injuries. Others believe that headgear should not be compulsory, but instead optional, because they are an added cost to already expensive sports and they don’t offer any protection against concussions which can lead to brain damage and other problems in later

Sports is a major part of mostly everyone’s life either you watch it or just participate in it. Though it has it benefits, everyone has the reason why they participate or enjoy watching sports. With the benefits comes with some consequence. When a football player puts on a helmet, he knows what he gets himself into. Although they have a helmet on, they are not guarantee not to get a concussion, according to Press Release “there was a new study that found out that football helmets currently used on the field does little to no protection against hits to side if the head” (AAN).

One helmet does not prevent a serious brain injury but when one does wear the proper equipment it reduces the chances of fatal injuries. Head trauma and concussions are more common than they should be, even in all levels of the game. Youth, highschool, and professional NFL players are all exposed and have a likely chance to hit their head and receive a concussion. The serious damage can impact the player’s life tremendously! Although in most cases studies have shown by the Institution of Medicine, which was funded by the NFL, that in most cases the concussion symptoms will cease in a matter of two weeks. In spite of most cases impacting the football player’s life for a short period of time, some victims are not as

The first reason is the lack of visibility. Players like to have full peripheral vision and see as much of the field as possible. The design of these helmets will take away the peripheral vision of players, hence creating a slower and more injury prone game. A key to being a prolific scorer is being deceptive. To be deceptive, players need as much peripheral vision as possible. With less peripheral vision, players cannot be deceptive. Also, it will be more difficult to make quick passes because players will need to fully move their heads to locate their target. Because of the lack of visibility, the game will become slower and possibly have more injuries.

Have you ever played a sport, that injured you or give you a concussion? Safety always comes first. Especially, when you're doing something that can get you an injury really easy. Having protective gear is important, mainly in sports. Some sports should have protective head gear. Protecting your head is important, and every part in it. Half of the sports are usually contact sports, which getting hurt in the head can be more of the chance, which is bad. As well, getting hurt in the head has many consequences which no one wants to have. Many athletes get concussions and it’s not good. 90 percent of the times, the person is conscious while having a concussion, the other 10 percent, there are unconscious. Therefore, protective head-gear

Some experts have opinions on the topic of AI and how it can affect the human body “We believe the brain has to fight against its normal coupling to handle that problem, and that makes some people uncomfortable,” said Banks. “That makes some people’s eyes tired. There are even some cases where it makes people nauseous; it gives them a headache.” An expert Marty Banks, professor of optometry, vision science, psychology, and neuroscience at UC Berkeley, talked about the problems that can affect the body while using VR. Therefore, this shows that, even some experts think that VR can be bad for you, and can result in bad things happening to your body, and your mind like in The

As can be gathered, much of the discussion regarding this application of VR is unashamedly positive and optimistic with the future of the technology. Thus the proponents can be described as belonging to the Technological Deterministic school of thought. In other words, the technology has been created so therefore we must use it. VR is also largely associated with reaping in economic benefits, and if not now, is seen as a good investment for the future. Thus if there is a dollar sign attached to a specific technology there are inevitably going to be fewer critics, or at least less
