[QUOTE="Porthoz, post: 2512691, member: 2221"] Oh cool, now we're separating sport injuries from recreation and commuting ones... Should we also only count cycling in separate cycling paths with no access for motorised vehicles, just to make sure the numbers support your agenda? Btw, this same study from 2002-2003 also shows that Rugby Union, where the shoulder charge had already been banned for a long time had the same percentage of head injuries as Rugby League where the shoulder charge and up-endings were common place. Maybe it's those ugly scrums in RU causing all the players to fall on their head! No one is saying the shoulder charge isn't a risk. A bad one can definitely cause a serious concussion, which will have to be dealt with properly. It is however nowhere near as dangerous or bad as some people advocate. Whether or not it should be banned depends on the perspective, and if the sport is trying to protect itself from situations like renegade mentioned, I can understand it. Far more important in my opinion, is the handling of any head injury and concussion. My agenda and what I find seriously lacking in RL, although it is improving, is that players that show any degree of concussion have to be removed from the field on the spot, no excuses! They also have to be completely cleared of concussion before being allowed to resume any contact in training or competition. I will reiterate that what causes serious potential permanent damage to the brain, is a concussion on top of a healing concussion! [/QUOTE]
