Has helmet technology improved in the last 25 years? It will be a few years before my son could play tackle football (and I would probably try to gently steer him towards real football), but the helmets I see at sporting goods stores today look pretty much indiscernible from that which I wore for one fall season in the early 2000s.
- maaaats 9y ago"better helmets" only mean you take bigger internal hits.
- kendallpark 9y agoHelmet technology has improved but not at the rate that humans have improved weightlifting/training. You've got bigger people running faster into collisions (and as we all know, momentum = mass * velocity).
- tankerdude 9y agoPerhaps to reduce injury of the head, force all players to wear no padding except for a helmet. It will change the dynamics but if you do something crazy to tackle someone, you too will get badly hurt.
