Helmet to helmet collisions can cause major problems on and off the field. The main effect of helmet to helmet collisions is concussions, there are about 3.8 million sports related concussions every year, the main issue not even half of them are reported. "40% of athletes said there coach was not aware of their concussion". The players "need to play" especially if they are a star on the team so not taking care of the concussions can also cause major issues with your brain in the future. Another effect is once you have had a concussion you can get another one even easier. When people think of helmet-to-helmet collisions, it's mostly football but you’re wrong, concussions and helmet to helmet hits are in a variety of sports, including hockey and lacrosse. All these sports have young kids that love to play, with them getting hit left and right around the world, it severely hurts the development of kids and young adults’ brains. Since there are so many concussions and injuries due to helmet to helmet collisions, there has to be millions of dollars that go into research and many other things to figure out safer ways to play these sports!
