                            Just so these hits don't hurt as bad.








From Cambridge, Massachusetts, they invented a new, easy way to measure impacts taken to the 
head. 
It has a skull-fitted head cap equipped with sensors and stretchable electronics that can be worn 
with or without helmets. 
This product will be available in early 2013 and will come in red, yellow, or green. 
It’s not only about football, about 30 million people in the United States participate in sports—
including hockey, lacrosse, skiing, snowboarding, and cycling—that often involve the use of helmets. 
Add helmet-free sports like basketball and soccer, where collisions and hard falls are also common, 
and the total participants in the United States is above 50 million. 

MY OPINION: I think this is a good idea and will make the game much safer and less injuries will happen
