Note: The Dangers of
Sports
The popularity of sports exposes a large number
of people daily to the risk of brain injury. Each year in the
United States there are an estimated 500,000 sport-related brain
concussions. Second Impact Syndrome" (SIS) occurs when
a second concussion occurs within hours, days, weeks following
a prior concussion. Despite its debilitating effects, many players,
parents, and coaches believe that concussion should not restrict
participation from competition. From Return to Contact Sports

emergency rooms each year, 50,000 die and 80,000 become permanently
disabled because of TBI. Marvel of engineering that it is,
the human skull is no match for the kinds of insults it faces
this century.
