abstract = {Through the years there has been an alarming increase in the number of football players in the NFL that have been reporting having short term and permeant sport-related mild and traumatic head and spinal injuries during and years after they were done playing football in the NFL which has grabbed the attention of the NFL. There are currently more than 3,000 retired players or their relatives pursuing a class-action lawsuit against the NFL, seeking compensation for lasting head trauma as result of participation in NFL games. The NFL in response to these lawsuits have begun to look into research about chronic traumatic encephalopathy and other brain injuries, the NFL has given over $30 million in unrestricted medical research funding to the Foundation for the National Institutes of Health the use of which will be overseen by The National Institutes of Health. Many of the studies being done to help the prevention of sport-related mild and traumatic head and spinal injuries is looking at the players helmets and how the head impact exposure allowed by the players helmet contributed to the players brain injury as well as consecutive concussive impacts. One of the studies was conducted by making players wear Riddle helmets equipped with the HIT System. Another study looked at the traditional football helmet which has a rigid exterior and a soft interior. This study was done using a Riddle helmet equipped with the HITS System technology which was placed on a heavy duty head and torso mannequin and struck it with a weighted swinging pendulum helmet to mimic the forces sustained during a helmet-to-helmet strike. As a result of the study they found that all impact severity measures were significantly reduced with the application of the external foam. One of the ways that causes the most spinal injuries is the way football players tackle such as spearing. Over the last few years the NFL have integrated rules that prohibit spearing to help prevent spearing tackles because spinal injuries are a very serious injury and have immediate effects on the athlete. The NFL realizes this is a serious issue and wants to provide their athletes with the safest equipment possible so they have enforced many rule changes and equipment modifications to help reduce the number of avoidable injuries.

abstract = {Through the years there has been an alarming increase in the number of football players in the NFL that have been reporting having short term and permeant sport-related mild and traumatic head and spinal injuries during and years after they were done playing football in the NFL which has grabbed the attention of the NFL. There are currently more than 3,000 retired players or their relatives pursuing a class-action lawsuit against the NFL, seeking compensation for lasting head trauma as result of participation in NFL games. The NFL in response to these lawsuits have begun to look into research about chronic traumatic encephalopathy and other brain injuries, the NFL has given over $30 million in unrestricted medical research funding to the Foundation for the National Institutes of Health the use of which will be overseen by The National Institutes of Health. Many of the studies being done to help the prevention of sport-related mild and traumatic head and spinal injuries is looking at the players helmets and how the head impact exposure allowed by the players helmet contributed to the players brain injury as well as consecutive concussive impacts. One of the studies was conducted by making players wear Riddle helmets equipped with the HIT System. Another study looked at the traditional football helmet which has a rigid exterior and a soft interior. This study was done using a Riddle helmet equipped with the HITS System technology which was placed on a heavy duty head and torso mannequin and struck it with a weighted swinging pendulum helmet to mimic the forces sustained during a helmet-to-helmet strike. As a result of the study they found that all impact severity measures were significantly reduced with the application of the external foam. One of the ways that causes the most spinal injuries is the way football players tackle such as spearing. Over the last few years the NFL have integrated rules that prohibit spearing to help prevent spearing tackles because spinal injuries are a very serious injury and have immediate effects on the athlete. The NFL realizes this is a serious issue and wants to provide their athletes with the safest equipment possible so they have enforced many rule changes and equipment modifications to help reduce the number of avoidable injuries.
