[QUOTE="Animal02, post: 568424, member: 347"] A third reason is better equipment. My first 3 years of H.S., I had a "suspension" helmet......ropes and a small donut pad at the top. You get hit with that on and you would feel it, so you took care to avoid head hits. Senior year we got new ones.....foam pads all over, some had inflatable ones as well. The force of impact you could make without feeling it was night and day. (That doesn't mean your brain wasn't sloshing back and forth.....you just had no sensory input about it) Same goes for shoulder pads etc. I look at what my ten y.o. wore last year vs what I had, and think about all the bumps, bruises etc that would have been avoided.
