As of right now, there is no helmet that prevents concussions.I am a bit confused. Some are saying he was a bad guy before CTE and some are saying he wasn't in the NFL long enough for his CTE to be caused in the NFL. How do you know when he started having the symptoms and what was or wasn't caused by CTE?
Because we are so involved in pro wrestling, concussions are a huge concern. When DS first started there wasn't much said and then when Chris Benoit killed his family and himself, more started being said about it. The WWE doesn't seem to admit that was the cause of what happened to Benoit, but since that time it's something that they stay on top of with their people. Some are pulled from the ring due to having more than a certain number (one guy is a commentator now due to this) and they donate a huge amount of money to concussion research. If one gets a concussion they are pulled from the ring for what seems like an almost excesssive amount of time to heal.
Of course Dd and DS aren't at that level but even in the indies, they train to prevent getting or causing concussions.
I haven't had one in football in a very long time but I do know when Dd was visiting colleges, one of the schools was showing us the many things their students were studying and developing and one of those things was a helmet that would prevent concussions. Well I don't think it could 100% prevent but it's was to prevent a huge number.
The issue is inside the head when the brain hits the skull from an impact.
