Breath Helmet Did you hold your breath when Boldin got knocked out.?
I hope someone plows that cheap Eric Smith cheap shot and helmet to helmet. He should be fined a million for it.
For how underpaid he is on the Cardinals he sure is playing hard for them and why not talk trash when you back it up. Is he suppose to be silent while defensive backs are jawing at him
I'm not a Cardinals fan. I just happened to see that hit because I flipped over to that game during a commercial.
I just kind of sat there in silence with my fiance. No matter who your favorite team is, most fans don't want to see any player get hurt. At the end of the day, football is a game played by persons who are there to entertain fans, persons who have day-to-day lives, families, etc. When I see a player suffer what could be a serious injury, I have to hope for the best with them.
I honestly wouldn't call the hit a "cheap shot." Boldin was knocked into Smith. I wouldn't be surprised if he is fined for it, I also won't be surprised if he is not fined for it. It was unintentional and the league ultimately may acknowledge that it was a freak play.
Football players wear them. So do people competing in hockey, baseball, cycling and a myriad of other sports. But divers wearing helmets? And being supplied with compressed air via a hose at the water surface that connects to their helmets? Who would have thought it? During a recent Caribbean cruise I experienced this interesting twist on underwater exploration during a stop at Coral World Ocean Park in St. Thomas in the U.S. Virgin Islands. It is called “helmet diving.” We boarded a bus in St. Thomas and were taken on a 40-minute drive on the wrong side of the road – at least what North Americans consider the wrong side -- to our destination, which they called “the cove.” Among the other attractions at this facility are snorkelling, scuba diving and encounters with sea lions, sharks or turtles, to name a few. Equipment can be rented or purchased there. The helmet diving base is a large round covered area. After a brief introduction that included instructions and the usual signing of a waiver absolving the facility of liability, gloves and water shoes were provided. We descended a ladder three steps into the water, where a white helmet was placed over our heads, resting on the shoulders. It was the receptacle for the compressed air that was pumped down from the surface. The helmet, which featured a clear mask, was large enough to enable us to wear our glasses. That was a bonus in clear water where the visibility ranged from 30 to 40 feet. We were told to stay upright to prevent water from entering the helmet. Breathing was normal, but we had to purge our ears. The helmet weighed 70 pounds, but with the buoyancy created by the water we experienced a weight of just 15 pounds when we were below the surface. Descending the final steps of the ladder to the ocean floor 20 feet beneath the surface in 81-degree Fahrenheit (27.2 Celsius) water, we began our helmet dive walk. Two scuba divers guided us on the 30-minute trip. An added safety measure was a chain along the route; we were told to hang on to because the water was fast moving. Unfortunately, one of our helmet divers had to leave the water after experiencing breathing difficulty. While it should not be a problem for most people, those who have breathing difficulties or who suffer from claustrophobia might not want to try it. Of the five of us taking part in the helmet dive, I was the only one who scuba dives. It struck me that helmet diving is an excellent opportunity for those who do not wish to go the scuba route to see some of the underwater world that thrills divers. But in exposing helmet divers to that same visual experience – especially in the clear waters of the Caribbean – it is also a vehicle to attract new people to scuba. I would highly recommend helmet diving to anyone thinking of getting into scuba diving, or to those who just want a glimpse into a diver`s world.
Helmet Breath I'm only going to ask one question tonight. I don't want to loose my points and drop back to level one?
First the question Do you think Sponge Bob Square Pants is a healthy show for kids to be watching? Could it be demon possessed or controlled? Could it be sending a wrong (Evil) message to Our children? I watched a show yesterday. They have all these sea creatures living in the ocean. Now here's the the thing they have a tree down there with a air dome over it. A squirrel lives in the tree. Now when the squirrel goes outside to visit Sponge Bob he has to wear a helmet with air in it to breath. But when Sponge Bob and the sea creatures go to visit the squirrel they have to wear helmets with water inside them.
Now I ask you is that Satanic or what? Should we keep children from watching this show? the whole thing just freaked me out? Honest answers please all religions and my freak friends.

Honestly if you thank I have a freak head you should see these guys. BB

Are you kidding me? Do you actually think that the devil is working at Nickelodeon? No, there's nothing wrong with that lame cartoon. I actually have to wonder about people who look into things so hard to find "sin". Those seem to be the people who have the most creative imaginations and find gay themes in every possible thing. It's a cartoon, chill out. It's not based in reality. The devil ain't gonna get ya on the old moving picture box. It's gonna be fine.
If the astronaut put plants inside their sealed helmets, could the plants live off the carbon dioxide given out by the astronaut and the astronaut live off the oxygen given out by the plant, instead of having air canisters on their back?
You could test this theory by placing your head in a plastic bag with a plant. Make sure to seal it tightly so that you can confirm the truth.
Also, make sure you put pillows all around you, or be on a mattress so that when you pass out it wont hurt when you hit the ground.
Helmet Breath Would you really die if you attempt to breathe in space?
The theory of that kind of confuses me, there's no air in space "no oxygen" they say space is like a vacuum.
In that case attempting to breathe in space would be the equivalent to covering or holding you nose and attempting to breathe, nothing happens!
So what makes space different, therefore shouldn't you be able to attempt to breathe in space, or at lest take off your space helmet as long as you hold your breath without dieing?
What is different is the pressure - you are nearly at a perfect vacuum there.
Even if you hold your breath, it will not help you. And if you try to breathe vacuum, you will find out, that you can not produce a lower pressure inside your lungs for sucking a vacuum inside it... even if you try to breathe in, the lack of pressure outside will suck the last remaining air out of your lungs. And if this happens, you will have a lower partial oxygen pressure in your lungs than inside your blood: The oxygen will leave your blood and you will choke.
But you will not explode, your body is pretty robust and your skin can with stand some forces. The water will boil away when exposed to the vacuum, but your blood will not boil as the blood vessels keep it pressurized.
A worker at JSC was once exposed to a vacuum for 15 seconds in a vacuum chamber accident, he did not explode and got only tiny injuries. He lost consciousness in that time, and that is the danger in space. You will loose consciousness already when there is still air in your suit, but quickly dropping in pressure - this is called rapid decompression. You will thus be helpless after just 10-15 seconds. without somebody bringing you quickly to "normal" pressure (at least a pressure altitude below 3000 ft), you will die in 90 seconds, when the oxygen-deprived blood from your lungs reaches your brain.
Young people across the nation are eagerly pulling out their shoulder pads and helmets anticipating the beginning of the NFL season. As children begin their usual daily workouts in preparation for the game, parents are also beginning to experience concerns on their child's well-being. Sports have long been a part of the lives of young people's school experience. It is an excellent learning experience that can be applied in all aspects of life. They learn about sportsmanship at the same time develop their confidence.
Although this sport has many advantages, we cannot deny the fact that football is a very physically challenging and brutal sport. Injuries such as sprains and strains are common occurrences in a football game. Sometimes worse injuries can also happen such as traumatic brain injury. Therefore as a parent, it is your task to provide your child with appropriate and high quality football equipment. There are many NFL helmet for sale in the market and protective gears such as shoulder and shock pads.
Fortunately in recent years, companies manufacturing football gears have made several equipment innovations. These companies have made gears lighter and stronger for maximum protection. The first line of defense for any young football player is their helmet so you must ensure to purchase one that is the correct size for your child.
In purchasing a helmet, measure your child's head one inch above his eyebrows. This will help you select the right size for your child's helmet. It is also advised to take these measurements after your child has had his haircut because changes in hair length and style can change the way a helmet fits.
Another way of ensuring that you will select a high quality helmet is through looking for the NOCSAE seal. NOCSAE is an all-volunteer organization that has high standards for sports protective equipment. This will especially guarantee that the helmet you are buying is safe for your child. These helmets may be a little bit expensive but safety of your child is well worth it.
After finding the perfect helmet, it is time to fit it properly. Dampen your child's hair with water. This is logical because helmets get hot during the course of the whole game and you have to make sure it fits whether your child is dry, hot or sweaty.
Most NFL helmets for sale for kids are adjustable and come with removable pads that create a custom made fit. It may take a few times to get the pads of the helmet be effectively arranged so start by adding a few pads at first. Prioritize this feature because an improperly fitted helmet can possibly cause damage. Adjust the chin strap until it is snugly fitted at the center of your child's chin. Make sure that the child is still able to breathe comfortably and open his mouth with the chinstrap in place.
There is always a risk of your child being injured in a football game. Although the protective gear such as the helmet can do a good job in protecting him, your child also has the responsibility to take care of himself while he is playing this sport. Remind him to enjoy the game but at the same time be more careful while playing with other kids.
