re: Third high school football player dies in a week

Back on topic, I don't see why they can't make the helmet attach to the shoulder pads. I suck at MS Paint so I can't draw it here, but basically the helmet is big enough inside to allow turning of the head, yet padded and snug enough to limit excessive "whiplash" type movement. Open in the front with a mask for breathing. Maybe open or clear plastic on the sides for best visibility. The logo could go on the back or top. It could attach to the shoulder pads with snaps or maybe even a HANS type system in back. It would need to be a rigid structure with the shoulder pads, even padded on the top to keep down the missile strikes.

Thoughts ?
