The problem of risk compensation is not mainstream, so I doubt that the NFL will be pressured into considering the Peltzman Effect. Economist Art Carden in a [2021 article](https://studentsforliberty.org/north-america/blog/peltzman-effect-nfl-concussions/) has also suggested, citing the Peltzman Effect, ditching safety gear. People’s lives and bodies are being ruined, and we must do our best to convince the mainstream of this theory’s validity. In the case of football, the helmets, Guardian Caps, and other padding only provide partial protection, but given that it provides protection, it should be expected to increase recklessness. I am not disputing how much they could reduce the impact force of collision. The balls are massive and provide almost perfect protection. The result? People are emboldened by the extra protection to lead into tackles headfirst. The so-called “ Safety should be a top priority, but if the NFL or worse, lawmakers, decide to increase safety standards, they may increase critical injuries rather than decrease them. For example, helmets partially protect the head, and professional football has a notorious concussion problem. This can be easily universalized to all kinds of safety measures, especially those found in contact sports.
