[QUOTE="GoPGo, post: 619399, member: 9064"] Helmets are already tight. Have you ever worn one that was fitted properly? Even if you somehow made it tighter, it wouldn't change the fact that the brain moves inside the skull when concussions happen. The key to reducing concussions is reducing the suddenness of the deceleration or acceleration of the head on impact. The only helmet innovation I can think of that might have a real effect would be to have some kind of crumple zones inside the helmet, much like a car. It could be something that could be quickly replaced by the equipment manager after a major hit and the player could be back on the field in 2 or 3 plays. In fact, I think I'm going to grab my old high school helmet and get to work in my garage... [/QUOTE]
