Shockbox helmet impact sensor looks out for athletes' noggins
While helmets certainly do help protect athletes from head injuries, if the player gets hit hard enough, concussions or other injuries can still occur.

Life Is A Lot Like Throwing A Bag Of Garbage Into A Volcano
Life is a lot like throwing a bag of garbage into a volcano.You climb up a big mountain that’s next to the lava lake with a big bag of organic garbage that is supposed to represent a human, so you can test if a human falling from that distance would penetrate the lava lake, and you throw the garbage into the lava lake, and then it goes right into the lava lake. You know? Just like life. And you think, “Why do I even try?” And then you remember, “To get results.” And then you jump into the lava lake, too.
