“What we’re hoping is to be the leaders in the state, and the country, when it comes to concussion awareness,” said Martin, whose team is one of the first high schools in the state with the SpeedFlex headgear, which has an InSite Impact Response System built in. “We want to be that spearhead that makes districts understand that there is an obligation to keeping our kids safe.”
Bright landed on his head, activating the Riddell InSite sensor pad tucked inside his helmet that is designed to measure impact. "If it goes off, I can go right to the kid and say hey, let me take a look at you," Gotthardt said. "Before, I wouldn't have known unless it was a real bad hit."
Riddell, the leader in football helmet technology and innovation, and the Translational Genomics Research Institute (TGen), a leader in cutting-edge genomic research, today announced they have begun the third year of a study to advance concussion detection and treatment with the Pac-12’s Arizona State University and its Sun Devil football program.
Riddell, the industry leader in football helmet and protective equipment technology, today announced its support for the National Athletic Trainers Association (NATA) and its recently approved update to the “Appropriate Care of the Spine Injured Athlete” protocol. The updated approach to emergency injury management recommends that protective equipment be removed prior to transporting the athlete from the field and facility, underscoring the advances in equipment designs and technology that have helped improve the efficiency of equipment removal.

The system is designed to be a less costly method designed from data obtained through the Sideline Response System. This system detects head impact using a covering on the inside of the helmet which identifies and alerts to hits based on linear and rotational acceleration, duration and location of contact. - See more at: http://uwpexponent.com/sports/2014/12/04/football-team-tests-high-tech-helmet-technology/#sthash.cF1IwMGx.dpuf
University of Florida Health researchers are using the helmets of Gator football players to help measure the force of on-field hits as part of ongoing efforts to better understand and prevent concussions and treat them before they cause lasting damage.
