A soft bird, standing in the cold wind ready to be one with the small child. The scarlet ibis is lifted from the world, and once again flying free. James Hurst, author of “The Scarlet Ibis” introduces readers to this very image through the life journey of his main character, Doodle.

By splitting the total amount of energy into different forms of energy that are stored or directed away from the head, the amount of energy affecting the brain is much less (“Newton’s Cradle: Colliding football helmets : Physics 101”, 2012).
