Abstract The purpose of this project was to design and test a prototype that could reduce the linear and rotational acceleration of the head in the types of collisions that most often lead to concussions. This project expands on my 2021 BASEF experiment by using more advanced physics equations to determine the effectiveness of the prototype in potentially reducing concussions.
