- But in order for us to actually realize the benefits of technology that can prevent concussion, it needs to meet regulations.
- 但为了真正利用这一可以预防脑震荡的技术，它必须得符合监管的要求。
- That's a reality. And this device is for sale in Europe but is not for sale in the US, and probably won't be any time soon.
- 这是个现实问题。这一设备目前在欧洲出售，但目前却没有、很可能近期都不会在美国出售。
- So I wanted to tell you why. There are some good reasons and then there are some not so good reasons.
- 我会告诉各位这是为什么，有些原因很合理，而有些却不是。
- Bike helmets are federally regulated.
- 自行车头盔由联邦政府监管。
- The Consumer Product Safety Commission has been given jurisdiction to approve any bike helmet for sale, and this is the test they use.
- 美国消费品安全委员会有权批准自行车头盔产品上市，他们使用的是这样的测试方法。
- This is back to what I was telling you at the beginning about skull fracture.
- 这又回到了我们开始时候谈到的颅骨骨折问题。
- That's what this test is for. And that's an important thing to do.
- 而这正是这一测试的目的，这一测试很重要。
- It can save your life, but it's not sufficient, I would say.
- 它能挽救生命，但我得说，它不够全面。
- So for example, one thing this test doesn't evaluate is it doesn't tell you is that airbag going to trigger at the right time and place,
- 比如说，这一测试没有评估安全气囊能否在正确地时间地点弹出，
- and not trigger when it doesn't need to?
- 也没有评估它在不需要弹出的情况是否会弹出。
- Similarly, it's not going to tell you is this helmet likely to prevent concussion or not?
- 同样，这一测试也不能判断这一头盔是否能够预防脑震荡。
- And if you look at football helmets, which aren't regulated, they still have a very similar test.
- 其实橄榄球头盔虽然未被联邦政府监管，但他们的测试基本相同。
- They're not regulated by the government, anyway. They have an industry body, which is the way most industries work.
- 虽然它们并未被政府监管，但如同绝大多数行业一样，有一个行业机构负责此事。
- But this industry body, I can tell you, has been quite resistant to updating their standards.
- 但我得说，这一机构极力反对更新它们的标准。
- So in my lab, we are working on not only the mechanism of concussion, but we want to understand how can we have better test standards?
- 所以我们实验室不仅研究脑震荡机制，还想研究如何才能采用更好的测试标准。
- And we hope that the government can use this type of information to encourage innovation
- 我们希望政府可以利用这类信息鼓励创新，
- by letting consumers know how protected are you with a given helmet.
- 让消费者了解某一特定头盔的保护能力。
