The issue of multiple concussions is finally becoming recognized by major sports. The awareness has led to a variety of interventions to help protect athletes. There have been two recent interventions concerning football helmets. First off, Riddell, a company that produces football helmets, has released a new helmet that is supposed to best prevent concussions. This helmet is known as the Revolution Speed. Using advanced technology, the Speed helmets were designed around the head 's center of gravity and include an uneven outer shell to help absorb a hit. The inside of the
There has been an increase in concussion research which has changed how helmets are designed. Despite improvements in helmet design over the years, traumatic brain injury cases (TBI) from heavy contact sports have increased drastically. Our football team cares a number of different helmets that are at the top of the research in protecting the athletes head. We carry the Riddell speed, flex and Schutt vengeance, Xenith X2E. These helmets are rated as the top four in safety. The speed, flex and vengeance are the most used by our football team. Not as many people on the team like the Xenith because it hard to get it to fit just right. Mack said the Xenith is the safest helmet because it suspends the head but is very hard to adjust but you never have to readjust it.
Cloche Hats. To show the short hair (a close fitting cloche is the only chose for hair that was short and flat.)—affected the body posture (“it was pulled well over the eyes which meant young women held their heads at a specific angle in order to see where they were going.”)
A new company called Vicis is being reported on by Rick Stella in the article “Flexible football helmet absorbs hits like a car bumper, could put an end to concussions.” In the article he States that Vicis made “Dubbed the Zero1, Vicis’ concussion solution is a multilayered, flexible helmet that’s particularly adept at diminishing rotational and linear impact forces. Specifically, the helmet was constructed to utilize four separate layers which work in perfect harmony with one another. It’s top layer —the Lode Shell— absorbs impact by locally deforming a specific part of a helmet. Think of it reacting like a bumper in a fender bender. Though the tech has existed in the auto industry for dozens of years, Vicis is the first company to bring this strategy to a football helmet.” This illustrates how the helmet works and how it will reduce the number of head injuries. (Stella April 4 2017) As well as the fact that the helmet from Vicis is made expertly by “each layer of the Zero1 setting an incredibly balanced foundation, Vicis’ Axis Fit System is the glue that keeps everything together. After spending an extensive amount of time understanding various athlete head shapes and sizes, the company devised an innovative, and anatomically correct, approach to sizing its helmet. Ditching the traditional convention of purely measuring head circumference, Vicis uses a person’s head length and breadth to achieve the ultimate fit. Plain and simple, a better fit assures better protection.” This proves that the helmet has expert engineering such as the expert simple head to helmet fit or the gluing of the helmet which with your head "simple is better. (Stella April 4 2017) In addition the Micheli center for sports injury prevention has an article called “Concussion Prevention” The Micheli center for sports injury prevention has a biography on
Standard cap wigs are also called weft cap wigs. Standard caps are made with a sewing machine and is the most basic kind of wig. The standard cap wigs also are the less expensive kind of wigs.

It includes snap-out interior padding, polyvinyl-coated steel facemasks and NCAA decals. They have full metal bar inserts to prevent the helmet from being used as headwear. These full-scale, 7 ½” hat size helmets are affordable for fans of NCAA teams, and make a good conversation piece for any man cave or recreation room. Riddell also offers full-size replica, replica speed, speed and TK helmets.
Most people either don’t know or don’t care to know about football helmets. It is something that you have to enjoy knowing and learning about. Each helmet has something different and different way they try to make it comfortable and safe for the player to wear. The history of each brand has a history on how they came up with the idea of making their style of helmet. No matter where the football game is being played, there are multiple helmets being worn at one time, which include Riddell, Schutt, Xenith, Vicis and SGH.
On the word of Blaine Hoshizaki March 8, 2011 in the local news article entitled “Ottawa Researcher Rethinks Hockey Helmet,”” Most concussions occur when there is a hit to the head that turns the head at the same time, various design factors make current helmets ill suited to protecting players against this type of hit, including helmet shape.” As Hoshizaki stated previously, a hockey helmet’s basic shape is the shape of the player’s head. The problem primary problem with the shape is in accordance with players being directly hit by a forceful object, such as an elbow or even the hockey puck. Modern hockey helmets are designed with impact in mind; Meaning, helmets are not meant to withstand major blows from a body check, which physically move the receiving player’s head in a certain direction of which makes the brain collide with the inside of the skull. The reasoning behind Hoshizaki’s research is to maintain safety as well as effectiveness in player equipment.
Josh Weinfuss expressed that to precede to come back to practice or play, not exclusively should the team doctor clear the player, yet the Independent Neurological Consultant with mastery in concussions should likewise assess and clear the player to come back to practice and play. They likewise have a specialist who has some expertise in cerebrum wounds that strolls around the sidelines amid NFL amusements who disregards if a player ought to backpedal into the diversion or not. The NFL website composed that, "what's more, the NFL and the NFL Players Association cooperate to ensure players by delineating infractions and disciplines for uncalled for player lead, perilous plays or erroneous utilization of security gear. The alliance likewise orders the correct support and testing of playing fields to lessen the danger of damage." Riddell a long-lasting protective cap supplier for the NFL has delivered another cap called the Speedflex which could decrease cerebrum harm fundamentally was presented in 2014. Will Carrol composed that what's so exceptional about this head protector and how it contrasts from different caps is the set pattern in the front. It's known as a cantilever, it enables the head protector to have greater adaptability while keeping up a general firmness. The thick cushioning behind the zone that is moves a considerable measure doesn't enable it to move much, however sufficiently only in a territory where players can take huge hits. The effect from either side likewise permit more flex in the protective cap to scatter the hits inside before the drive gets to the head. The issue is likewise that the chinstrap that is utilized to ensure the protective cap is bolted on the player's head hasn't been changed for more than 70
In 2015 28% of injuries occurred to the head or face, including concussions. High school injuries are so high because most people are just learning and don’t understand the right way to tackle so they lead with their head. High school athletes account for an estimated 2 million injuries and 500,000 doctor visits and 30,000 hospitalizations each year (Mills 2016).What Highschool started to use was the ZERO1 helmet. It has four core layers. The layers are (outside-In) Lode shell, Core layer, Arch shell, and form linear. The hard shell is the most important because it allows the helmet to not collapse when the player hits the ground (“The Safest Helmet in Football Is Set to Make Its NFL Debut"). The helmet stays straight, and the padding gives the player cushion when tackled.
Vicis, a self-proclaimed “technology company” is one of the many companies who are making an effort to tackle one of football’s biggest problems, concussions. This Seattle-based firm developed a helmet called the Zero1, “a multilayered, flexible helmet that’s particularly adept at diminishing rotational and linear impact forces. Specifically, the helmet was constructed to utilize four separate layers that work in perfect harmony with one another. It’s top layer, the Lode Shell, absorbs impact by locally deforming a specific part of a helmet” (Stella, 2016). The Zero1’s next layer is the Core Layer, “essentially bends and buckles in all directions to mitigate linear and rotational forces. Beneath that lies the Arch Shell, the interior of the helmet specifically
