Good football helmet fit key to preventing brain injuries

This article discusses head injuries in football, or more specifically the helmets that attempt to prevent them. The discussion begins with the types of helmets used, from "vintage 'leatherheads'" to new plastic helmets with air-lining systems. What the article says is really the deciding factor as to whether you will have a better chance of making it out of that tackle is nothing other than the fit of the helmet. If the fit is good and covering all the right areas without being to tight to allow give, and not to loose to allow movement, a player will have a much better chance of a no-injury game.
