American football is full of exciting competitions, but let's realize the danger! Helmet safety in football remains a huge issue, as the sport accounts for the highest rate of concussions. Since leather football helmets, the technology to make safer helmets has improved significantly and continues to improve. The development of newly designed helmets and technologies has reduced the risk of head injuries for players. Additionally, improvements in helmet testing methods have led to a better understanding of head injuries and helmet protectiveness. In this regard, the safety of football helmets still remains a challenge, such as the need for a proper categorization system to classify helmets and regulations to improve helmet safety. Regardless, standards and regulations attempt to ensure helmet safety through government intervention and a proper measurement system for football helmets. Despite the cultural perception of football, steps are being taken to ensure safety, such as reforms and education to play football more safely. I plan to address technological advancements and football regulations as part of the discussion about helmet safety. Therefore, aggressiveness in football culture should encompass stricter standards and regulation of helmet use, encouraged by improved testing methods and innovations due to the need to prevent further dangerous head injuries , especially concussions. Literary analysis After road accidents, head injuries in sports are the second leading cause of head injuries in people aged 5 to 24 years. Immense concerns ensue given that American football accounts for the highest incidence of concussions (Rowson and Duma 2130). Additionally, the...... middle of paper ...... and Stefan M.
