Here is how you end helmet to helmet hits in football. Make them play without helmets.
You better believe that if that tackler isn't wearing a helmet he is going to figure out how to avoid clashing foreheads. Real quick.
The problem with the helmets is that they are too hard.
They should be four times the volume and made of marshmellows. Then the brain wouldn't slosh around and bang into the insides of the skull so much.

yes, that's the mentality within rugby and Gaelic football circles. they tackle much more carefully.
didn't the buffalo bills used to use a helmet that had a soft outer coating? i thought that was the direction the nfl would go
They don't make a helmet that alone that will protect the brain from bouncing around inside the skull.
The helmet keeps the skull from being crushed.
Nascar has implemented restraints that cushion the head and body movement and dampen any quick change in direction during an impact.
Most concussions in football occur when the head hits the ground.
The helmets I remember from the 60s had straps inside like on a hardhat. They were somewhat useless at protecting the head on a direct hit. It was my senior year before our school went to the foam filled helmet. They fit like a glove and took some effort to put on and take off.
