Your head was designed to be supported by your body. When you lean forward, your neck muscles must strain to support the weight of your head. This position leads to strain, stress, and injury.

You don't have to take my word for it. Insurance companies make money by managing risk. They've prohibited the stance in MiLB to reduce this particular risk.
