Once a player sustains a hit measured at 240 Head Injury Criterion (HIC) levels a red light begins to flash on the chin strap alerting coaches, players and officials to a possible injury

Sounds pretty stupid to me

Hope there's no malfunction at a critical point in the game...lol.

I actually kind of like the idea, too many people in the NFL playing with concussions and fucking up their lives in later years.

In a perfect world where the unit performs exactly as it should 100% of the time, I would think this should be a requirement for every player.

However... even if that light flashes red... most players who just got rocked and not knocked out or destroyed will say they are good to play. Their livelihoods depend on them being on that field.

agreed.

Well we should get a counter going live, how many times its gonna flash during the game.

It's not a mathematical issue at all though and it's dumb to try to make it one when we know so little about brain injuries
