Some causes are worth tilting Windmills!
Catastrophic cervical spine and close-head injuries are among the most devastating injuries in all of sports. The primary mechanism for those injuries in football is axial loading, which occurs when contact is made with the crown or the top of the helmet. Whether that occurs intentionally or unintentionally, the axial load mechanism or spearing significantly increases the risks of both permanent cervical spine injuries as well as closehead injury. |
