Legacy, is creating a football helmet that will record impact data with an accelerometer and upload this data to a web server via WiFi so coaches can get real time data about how hard their players are being hit. This technology will allow coaches to pull players out before serious head injuries occur, effectively reducing the number of football related concussions. The helmet which we've named the "Legacy Helmet" will be available June 1st, 2015.
