People used to die all the time playing football with no or leather helmets.
yea and ppl die bartending
Yes, but if people died so frequently bartending that they needed safety equipment, it would be silly to say that removing the safety equipment would result in safer bar tending practices.
We already have data on what happens when football players don't have helmets; head injuries so severe they literally die.
and now "safety" pads have gone the weapon route. so, what do?
IDK. Require a warning, read live by someone with severe CTE, before broadcasts?
Maybe there's a mechanical solution, such as helmets that track how much trauma someone experiences between practice and games, kinda like the "lifetime radiation exposure" concept.
Rugby is safer for that reason. Players learn the helmet can be a weapon so then the rules committee had to ban that.
