    Players from Saint Louis and Pac-Five will take part in a three-year helmet study in Hawaii. Sensors inside the helmet transmit head-impact data to a computer or other device to staff on the sidelines. Aside from the long-term usefulness of the information gained, coaches and trainers will be alerted of a hit that exceeds a safe threshold and can respond immediately.
