[QUOTE="deeeznutz, post: 342345, member: 837"] I really think switching back from our solid shell helmets to the old-school padded leather helmets would do a lot to reduce concussions, except there'd probably be an increase in injuries the first few years as everyone adjusted to the new normal. You're not really likely to launch yourself head-first at someone when you don't have a big ol exoskeleton on your head. Tackling would begin to look more like rugby or aussie rules football...still a violent, physical sport but not dealing with the catastrophic head injuries we see in football (or maybe I'm wrong about rugby/aussie football and head injuries and they're having similar issues in Australia...anyone?).
