In 2025 LongShot Golf developed the Safe-Tac Impact Verification Football Helmet Label, using our proprietary impact label technology. Due to concern about head, neck and spinal injuries while playing football and the chilling effect it could have on participation, we saw an opportunity to advocate for proper teaching and guidance at every age. Correcting bad habits early would be easier, but no less important, then addressing them at any time in a players career. Football is a fast, instinctive game so players may not even be aware, without visual verification, that part of their own skill set includes potentially dangerous habits. An opportunity exists for the governing bodies of football at all levels, or at a minimum, the parts of those organizations charged with player safety, to proactively be involved in adopting this highly visible, low cost tool. The value lies in promoting another layer of injury prevention for players, plus being able to build upon and demonstrate an image of maximum concern for player safety. The current scrutiny of concussions, the long term effect of multiple impact events, plus the possibility of debilitating neck and spinal compression injuries, makes a compelling case for more action. Safe-Tac is an important tool in the quest for a safer sport.
The Safe-Tac Football Helmet Safety Verification Label is the newest product of LongShot Golf. It is based on the proprietary impact material that we developed for our golf club impact labels over 37 years ago. The LongShot Impact label is the most used teaching, training and club fitting aid in golf. LongShot produces the club brand specific label versions used by the games major club makers to aid in custom fitting their clubs.
How Teddy Roosevelt Saved Football … Early on, with little protective equipment, players sustained gruesome injuries—wrenched spinal cords, crushed skulls and broken ribs that pierced their hearts. The Chicago Tribune reported that in 1904 alone, there were 18 football deaths and 159 serious injuries, mostly among prep school players.
Keep your head up. Do not butt, ram, spear, or strike an opponent with any part of this helmet or facemask. This is a violation of football rules and may cause you to suffer severe brain or neck injury, including paralysis or death and possible injury to your opponent.
The statement above is directly from the warning label that is affixed to all football helmets.
Youth athletes make up 70% of football players in the United States. Every Year there are 23,000 nonfatal traumatic brain injuries stemming from playing football that require an emergency visit to the hospital. Of those visits, 90% of them are children between the ages of 5-18 years old.
Unfortunately, to date, there is no data to support the claim that any particular type of helmet or protective equipment reduces the risk of sports related concussion. Improvements in design of protective gear "May" decrease the number and severity of such injuries. Changes to the rules in sports, such as those against "Head-down tackling" or "Spearing" which is associated with a high injury rate, may also "Prevent" concussions.
Due to the fact that only 42% of high schools have access to athletic training services, there is a large debate regarding the risks that high school football players face. Concussions are frequent in high school football. Football has the highest rate of concussion among high school sports, with about 11 concussions per 10,000 athletic exposures. Many concussions that occur during high school football often go untreated and are not monitored. Repeated trauma to the head, especially injuries with concussion-like symptoms, put a young athletes health at serious risk.
