Problems
One of the drawbacks of the HITS is that it can not tell for certain if a player has sustained a concussion. It can only measure the impact and not the player’s reaction to the force of the blow. Since players react differently to different levels of impact the sensors sometimes give misleading information. Another problem of the Head Impact Telemetry System is the signal strength outdoors. Studies have shown that the environment can affect the signal strength resulting in longer download times and errors in transmission. Today there are only nine College Football teams using the system and the National Football League has not shown a great interest in implementing the technology for its players.

Famous quotes containing the word problems:

—Henry Miller (1891–1980)
“Currently, U.S. society has been encouraged by its political and subsidized mass-media intelligentsia to view U.S. life as a continual “morning in America” paradise, where the only social problems occur in the inner cities. Psychologists call this denial.”
—Ishmael Reed (b. 1938)
“...I have wanted to believe people could make their dreams come true ... that problems could be solved. However, this is a national illness. As Americans, we believe all problems can be solved, that all questions have answers.”
