helmet size

I'd like to see some discussion of the increasing sizes of football helmets among college teams. More and more players seem to be wearing helmets reminiscent of the one worn by Dark Helmet in ""Space Balls"" —Preceding unsigned comment added by 75.82.231.152 (talk) 20:16, 7 October 2007 (UTC)

I'd like to see updated pictures with more modern helmets. For example the Airforce Academy picture is over 10 years old now. In additition, I think there needs to be a link for the comment about Ohio State scientists finding out that a helmet can withstand 562 pounds of force. Jsm5405 (talk) 14:31, 16 April 2017 (UTC)

When talking about visors, it lists Leader as the first to produce visors, but when you click the link for Leader, it takes you to the Leadership quality wikipedia page, not a wikipedia page for a company. In addition, when talking about Recent Designs, it only goes up to 2007, almost 10 years ago. The page could benefit from talking about newer designs. Jsm5405 (talk) 13:39, 27 April 2017 (UTC)

Added info under recent designs about Riddell Speed Flex and the new vicis helmet. Jsm5405 (talk) 23:15, 14 May 2017 (UTC)

Additional copyedits: -Changed "modern helmets" section name to "modern helmet components" -Provided "modern designs" with its own section, instead of being a subsection -Deleted "loss of helmets" section (goes off-topic with football rules) -Changed the location of the "one-bar face masks" to go under "modern helmet components" (better fit) -Moved a picture to align with the "one-bar face masks" subsection--Crufino1047 (talk) 23:44, 14 May 2017 (UTC)

I added a section about the testing of football helmets All football manufactoring companies today test their helmets for safety using the NOCSAE (National Operating Committee on Standards for Athletic Equipment) drop test. This test uses a 13- pound dummy head full of sensors and a gelatin material. The head and helmet is dropped from a height of 60 at one of the six NOCSAE specified locations on the helmet. These locations include the front, rear, left side, right side, right boss, and left boss. The sensors in the dummy head measure the amount of force that the head experiences. The NOCSAE has certain regulations such as the peak severity index can never more than1200 SI. If a helmet fails to meet these requirements, they do not pass the NOCSAE drop test. Mgarmann (talk) 01:03, 15 May 2017 (UTC)

Added info under research and tests that addressed recent studies on football helmet performance. --Crufino1047 (talk) 03:22, 15 May 2017 (UTC)

Clarification-Regulations Section

Could someone clarify the height (60 what?) a helmet is dropped, the second paragraph in the Regulations section. I don't know what it is, I guess it's inches... Thanks. AA Pilot16 (talk) 17:09, 22 December 2021 (UTC)

Vandalism on the Football Helmet Article

Hi, I’m not a registered user but I am a long-time Wikipedia user and enthusiast and I wanted to note the continued and consistent vandalism on this particular article, usually involving Tom Brady and kissing. Is there anything that can be done about this besides just reverting the edits when they’re made? 2607:EA00:401:0:FC67:D9A0:A688:FF25 (talk) 02:19, 22 September 2023 (UTC)

Australian Football

Nobody has worn a hard plastic helmet in Australian Football since a few experiments in the late 80s and early 90s. Some players wear a rugby-style scrum cap, but nothing close to what is being discussed in this article. The mention of Australian Football should be removed from the opening of the article. 193.115.114.93 (talk) 00:22, 18 June 2024 (UTC)
