hi I'm Karl Franzen with The Verge we're here at CES 2014 going hands-on with Reeboks new check lay ahead impact indicator Reeboks new check light which was unveiled over the summer contains a gyroscope for measuring rotational motion in an accelerometer for measuring linear motion combined they activate a microprocessor on the other side of the check light which displays a different light depending on the threshold of the impact Green is a low impact it's fine I can keep playing whatever sport red that means you need to get checked out you should go see a doctor or go to the hospital yellow light would also indicate that you should probably have somebody take a look at your head to see if you were concussed or had some other sort of head trauma check light slides into a cap that you can wear underneath the helmet like this there we go
