Launching is a separate issue and has nothing to do with hitting someone while not looking.

And OK, their head might be the first to hit, that is more because they are not looking and get hit unexpectedly. I had a big hit this past weekend where the hit was not so blind and the blocked player got pancaked big time (not hurt).

And if your issue is someone got hit blindsided and not the nature of the hit, that is going to be very difficult to legislate. Because not all those hits are high or are close to illegal. I agree we should call the high hits and when launching there is helmet contact, but we cannot easily legislate situations where someone is unexpected. One reason the hits are unepected is becuase the player is not looking properly at threats. Heck if you are chasing the ball you have to on some level know someone might hit you. And I doubt all hits are concussion related as well.
