KABC's Eyewitness News ran a story on the 5pm edition on Monday about how UCLA has started a 3-year, $30 million concussion study using specialized football helmets with sensors. Considering how brain injuries are one of the biggest issues in football and sports right now, this study has the opportunity to provide amazing data and puts UCLA on the cutting edge of reducing brain injuries.
UCLA Equipment Manager Brendan Burger told ABC7's Curt Sandoval:
[The helmets] have these little pagers so anything over 90 on their scale is considered a measurable hit. They should probably take a look at the guy and make sure they're not at risk for a concussion
