Matan1 -“One more time, you can prevent sport injuries with proper precautions. And the worst injuries are not as bad as anaphylaxis.”
How come you don’t read the posts before responding?!?
Let’s see – do high school and college football players wear protective gear? Yes, they do!
So how come they die?!?
And I guess that death is not as bad as anaphylaxis!
And when you retort -“that’s football”- unknown heart conditions & heat-related deaths would apply to all sports. From previous:
“Each year in the U.S. an average of a dozen high school and college football players die during practices and games, according to a new study that finds heart conditions, heat and other non-traumatic causes of death are twice as common as injury-related ones.
Researchers reviewed data from the National Center for Catastrophic Sports Injury Research and found 243 football deaths recorded between July 1990 and June 2010.
One hundred of the fatalities resulted from an underlying heart condition, 62 were due to a brain injury – typically a subdural hematoma – and 38 were from heat-related causes, according to findings published in The American Journal of Sports Medicine.”
