There's no magical helmet that can fix football's problems. It's about deceleration, not actual contact (although that's bad too).
I disagree. The helmets are intending to increase the time between that initial contact and the moment your head comes to a stop. This reduces the force.
There's a guy testing a new design that has magnets in the helmet that basically expands that initial contact point off the helmet kind of like a force-field. It takes about 100 Gs to cause a concussion. Those magnets reduced a 120G contact to 88G. That's not a huge amount but surely technology will advance and improve upon this.
Magnets may not be the answer but there's too much money in football. They'll figure it out.

This is very interesting. Maybe you have seen the magnetic bungee jump. They put magnets at the base and magnets in your suit and you jump and the magnets at the base keep you from hitting the ground.
