[QUOTE="Bruce_ma gooshvili, post: 861745, member: 74121"] I don't think that is categorical fact. If it was unquestioned medical fact, why would Finn Russell have been given head protection for a transitional period of 9 months following his return from concussion? Someone with medical expertise must have instructed him to do that (as he threw away his head gear in his first game back and was clearly resistent to it). The point that wearing head protection can give a sense of security and therefore create risk because people are then being casual with the position of their head is entirely valid, but it does not then automatically follow that having a degree of external cushioning can in no way help reduce the chances of head trauma, including concussion.
