Title: dressing up in heavy gear makes you hot?!
Post by: ChadTower on July 14, 2009, 03:00:21 pm

A federal judge in Ohio concluded that manufacturer Riddell Inc. had a duty to warn Stringer that its helmets and shoulder pads could contribute to heat stroke when used in hot conditions. (http://sports.espn.go.com/nfl/news/story?id=4324917)


People need to be told that being 325lb, dressing up in heavy equipment, and running to exhaustion in 100 degree heat can cause heat stroke...?   :banghead:

Maybe my brother and I should sue them for not telling us we might get frostbitten if we wear them in subzero temperatures for hours.

Yup..... that federal judge needs a kick in the balls.
Typical, let's lay the blame on a manufacturer......never the coaches, school staff, parents, etc.
That's like saying every coat mnaufacturer, motorcylce leathers manufacturer, welding gear manufacturer, etc should all give the same "warning" to their consumers.
What a bunch of dumbasses..... COMMON SENSE.

I perosnally have two boy that played football and I was CONSTANTLY asking about water breaks, pads/ no pads, etc. And let me tell ya, it gets hot here with high humidity.
COMMON SENSE

I think dressing up in heavy gear is over rated. Doesn't make you look hot at all  :dunno

I think this is the heavy gear being referred to.

True...true.  But it does make you look like you went a little overboard on the 'roids.

You should try out for the MLB while wearing that.
