Margarite and all,

There are two strong reasons to avoid risks of head bumps, especially after a head bump.

The dysfunctions that can follow after a concussion or sub-concussive impact can cause an increased risk for a following head bump. Many sports programs use this as their primary goal. They often ignore the issue of Second Impact syndrome (deadly) and Multiple Impact Syndrome ( a life of struggle) Their main focus is returning a player to the field who has balance and coordination problems.

Too bad they often ignore the latter and most important issue. But, its problems don't show up until after the game or season is over.

Margarite has shown you all a great example. I doubt she thought she was putting her head at risk. She know better now.

Keep up the good words, Margarite.

Bumped brains need lots of repetition before they start to grasp an important message.
