[QUOTE="Skeptic, post: 671297, member: 2175"] Well, the difference might be combined collision speeds of 120 mph and four tons of metal. Only a fool would lead with his head if it was not protected, and I played tackle football for years in my youth, bareheaded and barefooted. I don't recommend it, but one adapts to his environment. I never saw a serious injury until we put on the pads and helmets, and suddenly knees were blown out and concussions were sprayed about. Plus, if you like statistics -- and doesn't ever GT nerd? -- it would be safer because who the heck would play and who would watch the safer sport? [/QUOTE]
