More on Hits to the Head

The Dana Foundation newsletter had this article linked in it about concussions. As we learn more about them it concerns me that they always mention football, lacrosse, boxing and other sports but don't seem to have gotten around to karate. This article is long but worth a read, especially when he gets to addressing how important it is to protect our children. He's got some scary figures in there about mass and acceleration as related to children's growth proportions.
