My kid also got a concussion in the weeks before the de-certification using his R. He has another friend who got a really bad concussion, coincidentally while using the R in September. Is NOCSAE or CASCADE or STX or anyone trying to collect data on actual head injuries while using the R? Who cares about the politics? I just want my kid in a safe helmet. It is clearly not the most safe helmet and doesn't even meet the legal standard.
My son has had the R since it came out and has been hit several times and has had no issues, he is an aggressive defense-man and his team plays extremely physical games.
It is likely your son was properly fitted for the R. The whole point here the R allows for an array of tilted fitting ranges, and those ranges fail impact testing standards.
