Pat, I think back to when I was a kid and can't imagine how I made it through all those youth years without wearing a bicycle helmet (something obviously needed today---or so the legislators think). I'm also amazed at all the millions of others who came through it unscathed. Simply amazing by today's standards!!!
I think in all of sport that perhaps we should just merely go to video athletics. Of course, they'd soon be looking at video helmets to protect us from the potential injury we'd sustain when jumping from our seats after a win.
While safety is important, there will always be injuries for those who participate, and even at times for those who merely spectate. Somewhere the line needs to be drawn relative to the numbers participating vs. the numbers (and severity) of injuries. I'm just wondering if you've come across comparison figures of those participating vs. those seriously injured..........
Life is not without its risks...........
