Journalists Wandering Eyes Posted June 7, 2018 Journalists Share Posted June 7, 2018 The New York Thoroughbred Horsemen’s Association (NYTHA) has donated $15,000 to fund a study on concussion and helmet safety that will be conducted by the New York Institute of Technology. “The Computational Assessment of Helmets and Concussion,” led by Dr. Milan Toma, will collect data on jockey head protection through simulation testing of various helmet designs. This data will be shared with other researchers studying head trauma in professional sports, with the goal of determining the best head protection under various racing conditions. “We take jockey health and safety very seriously,” NYTHA President Joe Appelbaum said. “We are thrilled to be able to help further research in the vital area of head trauma and concussion, so that we will be better able to protect our riders going forward.” View the full article Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
