So how can we slow the head down?
那我們該如何減緩頭部的向下移動？
A gigantic helmet. So with more space, you have more time, and this is a bit of a joke, but some of you may have seen this.
可以佩戴巨型頭盔。空間變大，緩沖時間就會變長，當(dāng)然這是個玩笑，雖然你們有人可能見過這個。
This is bubble soccer, and it's a real sport.
這是泡泡足球，而且它真是一項運(yùn)動。
In fact, I saw some young adults playing this sport down the street from my house the other day,
事實上，前幾天，我就在我家附近的街上看到一些年輕人在玩兒它，
and as far as I know there have been no reported concussions.
據(jù)我所知，沒有這種運(yùn)動中發(fā)生腦震蕩的報道
But in all seriousness, this principle does work, but this has gone too far.
但嚴(yán)肅地說，這一原則確實有效，但它有點過頭兒了。
This isn't something that's practical for bike riding or playing football.
畢竟對于自行車和橄欖球運(yùn)動來講，這不大現(xiàn)實。
And so we are collaborating with a company in Sweden called Hovding.
目前，我們正和瑞典Hovding公司合作。
Some of you may have seen their work, and they're using the same principle of air to give you some extra space to prevent concussion.
可能有人見過它，它實際上運(yùn)用了同一項原則，利用空氣提供更多空間，從而預(yù)防腦震蕩。
Kids, don't try this at home please. This stuntman does not have a helmet.
小孩子請勿在家嘗試，這個特技演員沒有戴頭盔。
He instead has a neck collar, and this neck collar has sensors in it, the same type of sensors that are in our mouthguard,
而是戴了一個頸環(huán)，這個頸環(huán)內(nèi)置傳感器，這些傳感器和我們的牙套中的傳感器同屬一個類型，
and it detects when he's likely to have a fall, and there's an airbag that explodes and triggers,
當(dāng)騎行者要摔倒時，它可以感測到并且彈出安全氣囊，
the same way that an airbag works in your car, essentially.
這一引發(fā)機(jī)制和汽車中的基本一致。
And in the experiments we've done in my lab with their device,
我的實驗室對這一設(shè)備進(jìn)行了一系列實驗，
we found that it can greatly reduce the risk of concussion in some scenarios compared to a normal bicycle helmet.
我們發(fā)現(xiàn)與普通自行車頭盔相比，這一設(shè)備在一些情境下可以大幅降低腦震蕩風(fēng)險。
So it's a pretty exciting development.
這是個很令人激動的新發(fā)展。
