People aren't made to take physics in high school. It's too racist and oppressive to make children study it. So they have no understanding of things like this.

(Never mind that nowadays they don't even have to read, write, or add to graduate with honors.)

The thing about deceleration of the brain is that padding only does so much. And old people have fragile blood vessels, aneurysms, and are on blood thinners.

Blood thinners + small head bump or deceleration = fatal head bleed.

There was a case in The Lancet a few years ago of a young person (not on anticoagulants) who was 'head banging' -- i.e., dancing with exaggerated head movements, and he had bilateral subdurals and herniated and died at the concert.

Rock, Metal, etc., these are pure Darwin.

People need to pull their heads out. It's not 1961 anymore. There's lots of information out there on how not to do stupid stuff and get maimed or killed by it.
