We had an investment group approach our company so we could quote designing/developing a helmet system that had a pressurized tank and airbags lining the inside of the helmet...... it would sense which direction the impact was coming from and inflate the appropriate airbag accordingly.

To me, it always seemed kinda like taking the airbag out of the steering column on your car and put it on the front bumper to protect the driver inside.....wouldn't work. It would protect your SKULL, perhaps, but it wasn't going to reduce the impact of the brain hitting the inside of the skull.

Yep, exactly.

A laminate of hard plastic, soft foam, and then slick semi-soft plastic would be the ticket, and easily made.

A big part of the problem is the "NFL Tough Guy" mentality. Just look at the joke of mouthpieces have the clowns use... probably because the good ones look too much like a pacifier..

You mean like the one Arian Foster uses?

I remember years back watching a 9ers' game & that dude's cap came off during play. The players' were tossing it around like a frisbee playing keep away.
