The problem is, CTE is not caused by "one large hit"; it is caused by repeated, sub-concussive blows. If you had something collapse on the blows that cause it, you'd be changing helmets after just about every tackle. There are newer helmet technologies that are supposed to absorb more of the impact, and in particular allow some slippage of the shell to reduce rotation, which can be one of the most harmful types of movement: https://www.popularmechanics.com/adventure/sports/news/a2797... Whether these will be effective at preventing CTE, or only preventing concussions, is hard to say without a lot more data. |
