A Pennsylvania-based athletic protection company is out to prevent injuries like the one that caused Buffalo Bills safety Damar Hamlin to collapse on the field.

Unequal Technologies in Glen Mills uses battlefield technology to make lightweight protective sportswear. The potentially life-saving gear aims to protect wearers from commotio cordis, which health experts say happens when someone experiences extreme trauma to the chest.

Unequal Technologies has outfitted Olympic skiers, NFL quarterback, celebrities like Tom Cruise and even Pope Francis during his trip to Philadelphia in 2015.
