Quote:Helmets don't protect against concussions. They prevent bone fracture
 

This. ^

 

Concussions occur from impact. The brain basically gets rattled within the skull.  A helmet won't stop that from happening.  The speed of the collision and the force of impact are the key factors. 

 

The reason it seems there are more concussions is the incased awareness and stepped up protocol by the league. These concussions always occurred  - they just went unreported and often untreated.

ABOUT US
The Jungle Forums is the Jaguars' biggest fan message board. Talking about the Jags since 2006, the Jungle was the team-endorsed home of all things Jaguars.

Since 2017, the Jungle is now independent of the team but still run by the same crew. We are here to support and discuss all things Jaguars and all things Duval!
