Current News Headlines: Former Texas High School Football Player Develops Concussion Detecting Helmet
A former Texas high school football player, identified as Adrian Alamillo, has developed a helmet to detect head injuries. The 17-year-old who played football for his school in Corpus Christi until he was diagnosed with pediatric epilepsy, said he was inspired by his diagnosis to create a helmet that’s able to alert a player to a possible head injury. He said:
“I modified my prototype to where once it’s hit with about 85 to 90 G’s of force, the paintball explodes.”
Adrian has already entered his helmet into the International Science and Engineering Fair and made it all the way to the finals. He is currently working alongside doctors and other scientists to develop a patent for his helmet.
