thedogs1987 Posted March 5, 2012 Report Posted March 5, 2012 Watched this video on tv. Great information about sport's head injuries. Good to know that our programs here have trainers on site and emergency personnel close to our facilities.

kicker Posted March 6, 2012 Report Posted March 6, 2012 Not sure how to comment on this. I was on the field when Reggie passed and although it wasn't from a hit, it still haunts me to this day. I'm not sure what an answer or solution is. With our technology in the 21st century, you would think that we could prevent these injuries. I was watching a show last night about grand prix/formula 1 racing in the 60's and 70's. Because of negligent tracks and inferior equipment, there was like a 20 mortality rate. It wasn't safe until the 80's when they developed better protection. Is there better material and or technology for helmets and pads? Are they too expensive? There is no price you can put on a highschool kid. Now a days when kids are evolving into larger frames, there has to be evolution in protection.
