Football Helmet Sensors
Indiana State University has put sensors in the football players helmets. These sensors will register if the player is hit hard enough to suffer a concussion. They are hooked up to a computer that is being monitored on the sidelines. 98G means a concussion. There was a player that was knocked out at 65Gs, and a player who wasn’t even knocked out at 155 Gs. They will not let anyone play if they have suffered a concussion, possibly pulling them out for a few weeks. I think this is a great idea. It gets the players medical attention a lot faster. As soon as the hit is registered on the screen the medics are on their way out to the field.

I agree that it is a good idea, it will help prevent serious injuries to kids playing at a younger age. So the kids can play for a longer time. I know personally I have had a few concussions from wrestling.

I didn’t know about any sensors on the football field. thats pretty interesting. It can seriously prevent injury and makes the game safer from any fatal accidents.
