think i saw a physics professor on tv say the best helmet would be one that allows the force to shatter the helmet instead of transferring it to the head ... gonna assume this is the same thinking ...

With a softer helmet, helmet to helmet collisions will be better.

It's still not gonna prevent the whiplash concussions though.

The problem is that the only way to reduce head injuries is to have a protective shell covering the brain inside the skull. Head injuries happen when the skull comes to a sudden stop but the brain continues to move forward and hits the skull. That's going to continue to happen as long as there's tackling and collisions happening in football. They need a way to keep the brain stationary inside the skull at all times for football players to be safe and that is virtually impossible. I really don't know what football can do to make the game safer.
