they'd need a helmet that could absorb all the damage that is inflected within the helmet to the head of the player. that could require some kind of special padding and that shyt might not be ready for years. it's a stretch to imagine a helmet that's effective to stop these kind of impactive tackles and even if they do make them, it will likely only be for NCAA/NFL players, so those high school players will still get the lights knocked out of them.

Such a helmet is not possible. Thermodynamics requires that the energy imparted by a 250 pound player be transferred on impact. Some of it can be deflected based on design, but most if it is going to be transferred to whatever is below the helmet.
