The best solution to the Fort Morgan High School football concussion problem is the ShockBox helmet alert sensor. The ShockBox sensor is a small, digital instrument attached with adhesive tape inside a football helmet. It is turned on and used whenever the helmet is in use. According to an article titled “Shockbox Impact Alert Sensors,” the sensors measure the g-force of a hit, a calculation that can be used to determine whether one suffered a concussion. Eighty-five to ninety-five percent of all concussion causing hits occur between 70 and 100 g’s; the ShockBox sensor records force on a much larger range of 20 to 150 g’s. The ShockBox sensor works by sending the data it records to a phone or tablet equipped with the ShockBox application.
