Visor Might Protect Troops From Blasts

            This article is about how adding a visor to the helmets that soldiers wear in Iraq can greatly decrease the risk of having a head trauma. What they are saying is that if you put a visor on the helmet that they now wear today is meant to stop bullets and not prevent major head trauma. What they are saying is that if you put a visor on the front of the helmet it would deflect most of the energy of the blast.

            This affects many people in general. The reason is that with this new technology that they have discovered it can affect the people in the armed forces in a huge way. If they find a way in which they can reduce the amount of head trauma cause by these blasts many veterans would not have serious head injuries. Also, if they succeed with this they can help a lot of other sports prevent major head injuries.

            I think that this article could have gone more in depth as to how the visor would be a great improvement to the helmet. What I liked though is how they describe how it can be used to prevent head injuries in other sports. Finally, I thought they just did an overall good job at making sure that the reader did not get lost throughout the article and stayed interested.
