im curious how it stops the momentum of the brain inside the cranium.

this kinda smells like wishful thinking on the part of people who might have money on the game

If you actually read the article, it explains that a combination of linear and rotational energy result in a shear-type movement of the brain that could cause significantly more severe brain injury compared to a linear movement. This tech would reduce the rotational energy experienced by the brain if successful.

People not reading the article seems to be an even worse problem than on Reddit. At least there if you kept scrolling you'd find someone who read the article while here oftentimes all of the top level comments haven't and are up voted by those who also haven't read it.
