The NFL is trying everything to stop Concussions on Sunday and they may have a Solution to the Problem...sort of. A Company called Unequal Technologies of Kennett Square, Pennsylvania near the "City of Brotherly Love" Philly has implemented their Technology in a Few Dozen Steelers Helmets including OLB and "Not Wired like the Usual" James Harrison. To the Right a Picture of CRT (Green Inserts) in an Helmet.

It's a 1/8 Inch Insert made of a coated form by Kevlar, a Bullet-Stopping DuPont Fabric, and studies have shown its cuts the G-Forces to a Helmet by 25%.  These Inserts attached with Adhesives to the Lining of the Helmet. Steelers OLB Harrison was Quoted as saying, " He has had Multiple Concussions in the Past Few Season until they put this Material in his Helmet and it has cut down on Concussions and Headaches".

Most of the Money that Unequal had made is from developing Body Armor and Helmets for the Military. An Independent study also shows that the Material also reduces Mechanical Impact by some 50%.

Go to Unequal.com and check it out especially for the Youth and High-School Athletes where the Concussions are far more Serious with the Brain still developing.

Again Unequal.com for more Info it is Info@unequal.com and go Steelers Nation....
