[QUOTE="ratsapprentice, post: 872292, member: 67273"] Although something I hadn't realised until very recently is that there is some evidence that increasing the volume of blood/fluid inside the skull can quite significantly reduce the incidence of concussion. Both Rams and Woodpeckers have mechanisms which increase blood-flow to the brain, which prevents much of the mechanical sloshing, and the blood/fluid absorbs much of the force of impacts. I can see in the future that drugs/supplements and even gene therapy being used to increase the volume of blood in the brain for contact sports athletes.
