For the retiring few long time , college football game teams across the state have been participating in a principal injury experiment . While playing game , they wear off particular helmets that use something called a “ high impingement telemetry system ” to mensurate the impact and slant every time the instrumentalist get smashed in the head . Now researchers at the University of North Carolina say the devices have yield astonishing raw facts about how firmly you could get strike without getting a concussion .
According to a dismission from the University :
In football game , a smasher can easy yank the head , for milliseconds , at 50 gravitational constant , and hits above 100 gramme are rough-cut . One player in the field live 168 g. It was previously suggested that a forces above 75 g would in all likelihood result in a concussion , but these newfangled final result call into question that finding . Less than .35 per centum ( only one - third of one percent ) of impacts large than 80 g resulted in concussions .
Why would you want this data exactly ? Symbex , the company who manufactures the helmets , has an explanation . Though they ’ve only been tested on football player , Symbex refer several times to the idea that these helmet could be used onsoldiers . Hey , soldier , we know that only a tiny percentage of people get concussion from head impacts of 75 GB ! Get back out there and fight !
