A Safer Helmet(头盔)
Football players wear helmets for protection. The helmets are usually made of hard plastic. But Sam Browd, who was a doctor, had an idea: “What if the outer shell is made of a softer material?” Helmets could work like car bumpers(保险杠). Browd drew a plan on a napkin. Now a company called VICIS is working to make the helmet. They want to build the safest helmet ever made. The result is the Zero 1. It is now being used by 18 football teams in the USA.
