No doubt Collission will cause injuries.
I know guys who got concussions from getting hit in the head with a pitch too, so I guess we should change to lob ball, or just from the side a little lob like in BP.
I know guys who got concussions from taking a ground ball to the jaw, so how do we change that??
I know guys that have severly damaged thier Ankles sliding in to bases, feet first, while others have been KO'd sliding head first. Why don't we just not allow kids to play anything just make thier clothing out of bubble wrap and keep them in round rooms with round tables, with pillows to sit on.
I believe over protection causes injuries way more than allowing people to be prepared for possible outcomes. Telling people {as coaches do} that people have to slide, then a kid comes home running, trys to get out of the way, but clips a player, that will cause more injuries than an expected full out collision. Ask boxers, its the punch not seen that does the most damage, not just THE PUNCH.
