...College Football Helmets: Protecting Them During a Move Your collection of college football helmets may or may not be expensive, but it’s worth protecting during a move. Although the helmets may seem quite sturdy and difficult to break, they can be fragile and experience damage that can ruin their appearances and decrease their values, substantially. Chipped or cracked helmets, smudged autographs, broken faceguards, and chipped decals are just a few of the injuries that helmets can suffer. Moving is said to be one of the most stressful times in person’s life, but you can make it a bit smoother by taking the time to keep your valuables safe. Call Your Insurance Company Before you do anything, consult with your insurance company about what it covers during a move. Chances are, the moving company does not offer insurance. However, they may offer a plan that pays you a portion back for items that are lost or damaged. Your actual insurance may cover items completely. If you don’t already have that coverage on your plan, inquire about what the company offers that can protect your items. Adding additional protection on your plan could prevent you from suffering a major loss. Find a Company That Specializes in Moving Collectibles...

...Motorcycle helmet, why? It is known that the National Traffic Act requires the use of helmets when riding on motorcycles or mopeds. However, many people do not use it. The mandatory use seems logical given that both vehicles have a body that demonstrates no restraint in a collision or rollover, and that the mere loss of balance on the bike means hitting the head against the hard ground. And the head is not as hard as the floor. Why wear a helmet Helmets save lives by preventing or absorbing the shock and head injuries that could be devastating and disabling. Motorcyclists who do not wear helmets have much higher risk of death or permanent injury. The General Accounting Office of the United States (GAO) has been studied and proven that:...

Then just like that it happens, the loud collision of two bodies slamming into each other, helmet to helmet. The player who just tried to catch the ball drops it on impact and now lays motionless on the field. He gets up with help and walks slowly off to his sideline. This athlete has just suffered what professionals in the medical field call a concussion. This article will be taking a deeper look into what happens to a players brain during a concussion, signs of a concussion, and what rising athletes can do to prevent these concussions. Concussions have been an ongoing controversy as of late in the world of sports and it comes with good reason. Though concussions are most prevalent in football, they are common across the entire sports spectrum. A concussion occurs when the head is hit directly or indirectly, causing a chemical disturbance within the brain that can have immediate consequences.

...Persuasive Paper Part 1 Jo Ratliff Professor Danny Meadows English 215 November 8, 2015 The monetary cost associated with not wearing a motorcycle helmet is extreme. The loss of life is even more distressing. In recent years we have seen an increase in motorcycle accident injuries and fatalities. Head injury is the leading cause of death in motorcycle crashes. According to a government study posted on PubMed (2012), the un-helmeted motorcyclist has more severe injuries than the motorcyclist wearing a helmet. The result is longer hospital stays, possible care after the hospital and higher medical expenses (Boarini DJ, 2012). Society shares the burden with the families of the motorcyclist involved. Insurance cost increases and if the injured person does not have medical, those cost are passed on to the consumer. Before considering owning and riding a motorcycle, the risk associated with not wearing a helmet needs to be considered. The issue of whether or not to wear a helmet is extremely controversial. Some motorcyclists take an emotional stand, stating that to ride with or without a helmet is their choice. They go on to say that taking that choice away is taking away their freedom. Everyone makes choices and decisions every day. Deciding not to become another statistic by wearing a helmet is a good choice. Wearing a helmet when riding a motorcycle should be as commonplace as fastening your seatbelt before you start your car. There are always advertisements reminding us...
