Sport Science: NFL Concussions and helmet to hemet collisions

[TheKillaCucumber20]

Someone call football a pussy sport. I dare you.

[GoHard4Home]

@TheKillaCucumber20 Just imagine if America took over rugby.

[rich763690]

''every year over 100,000! CONCUSSIONS occur in all levels of FOOTBALL! and 60% of these are from James Harrison''

I knew it!!!!

[chrisfball12]

I played ball one year in HS and got a few mild ones myself back in 2002. Its now 2012 and I can honestly say I'm a little forgetful of some stuff.

[Jeefjake23]

250 thumbs up and ill do :55 to my coach and put a video

[theF1stig]

@Jeefjake23 this video doesn't even have 250 likes. how will one person get more than that

[TheJ4RV13]

head hunters, thats why

[amalkoun72]

It's just hard not to use the head, you try to use the shoulder but the head always gets hit, had my first concussion this year, came from hitting the ground after getting plowed by the runningback as big as me, just be careful with the head, nothing's worse than concussions

[xogjs1018]

James Harrison disliked this

[edunavia182]

now imagine that but with James Harrison instead

[SpeedManJones44]

that one with brandon jacobs was crazy

[drifter8027]

mph is not a unit of acceleration/ "deceleration"

[youngbangr]

sport science is so gassed is not like a hammer hittin ur head its like a head hittin ur head for godd sake -.-

[rwfan11]

/@youngbangr The amount of force it is... ever heard of physics?

[91gt306]

The 3 dislikes are from people who THOUGHT this was a pu**y sport, and just got proven wrong. Concussions suck tho.

[jackisback037]

when i got mine it wasnt from the hit it was from hitting my head on the turf after a blindside

[clayg80]

I like the statistics SS come up with, but the analogies they come up with on the experiements are way off basis

[hmcintire37]

people dont realize how much damage concussions can actually do. i no longer can play sports and have to go to brain therapy twice a week to reteach my brain how to remember and how to balance. this continuance with education and awareness needs to keep happenign

[rbt4rbt]

Very good video. It still amazes me what is known about certain sports and yet it does not seem to slow it down at all. So what do we do? I don't know. If people want such things, have at it, as long as it does not include me. :)

[Lisztman88]

If it's "fun" to watch players get seriously hurt and get concussions, you may have a problem... Professional sports are to remain that - professional.

[alexides]

@chillyayo09 Hum... In the early years of the NFL... 18 people died from hits... Government wanted to ban it... Check your sources...

[MrNiconano]

@richard1972r yeah... I hate it. And I already started work for this season and couldn't play last season. They said it could last for years. Sucks.

[MrNiconano]

@neatralplayer090

I got a concussion about 6 months ago and I'm still messed up. Whenever I get hit in the head I get dizzy and my vision blurs. Having fourwheelers landing on your head sucks. Lol

[richard1972r]

@MrNiconano

Ouch! Dude, that's awful! Hope you recover soon. :(

[neutralplayer090]

i just got a concussion today playing soccer, they told me im not supposed to sleep or take any sorts of pills, its 1 am and here i am

[alexh343]

the one person who disliked this was the dummy who got nailed

[jelloween]

i play quaterback in a footballteam i've never got a concussion when they trucked me

[FrictionZero]

I play running back, i'm 6'10 400 pounds and run a 3.9, and I usually give people concussions when i truck them..

[iHuskerx]

@FrictionZero Fake and Gay...

[brandonjamesholmes]

i play half back im 230 5"11 and run a 4.5 lol i went helment 2 helment and dident feel a thing but he did, when i play football i have a huge ass afro wish makes me not feel anything but when i had no hair those shits hurts

[solomonredsox]

@brandonjamesholmes I had to take down a 240 full back running out of the back field and my small 5' 9" 160 pound ass playing cornerback I just scooped his legs. I wish I had the shit on tape, It looked sick. I also wrestle so that's why I do them leg sweeps on ball carriers

[brandonjamesholmes]

@solomonredsox

my body is weird i weight 240 now but its all in my thigh and so many people try 2 low cut lol and bounce off

[solomonredsox]

next season I'm hopefully gonna start for my d2 school next season, last year I played in place of an injured starter for the last three games. I wanna increase my maxes in everything, especially bench from 205 (Im not that big :P) to 215 and maybe get a little more muscle for safety. I've had concussions in practice but not a game which I'm proud of I guess. lol

[solomonredsox]

@brandonjamesholmes Yeah I only been playing football for a few years, I played soccer and basketball my whole life and always liked to play touch football like in the backyard or something and in video games (madden, ncaa) but I'm pretty tough so I figured I could take the punishment when I tried out for DB for my middle school team. You get any college letters?

[Seanchoman2009]

@DanielSellen playing O- Line (guard), i got myself a few concussions in my day (6) from linebackers and picking up the blitzes... it sucks... wish i had not used my head so much

[xTheGodOfCodx]

@Seanchoman2009 I think in high school football people on defense get the most head injuries. they dont know how to tackle and they just put there head down

[bannedfromutube1]

@Seanchoman2009 Nobody really gives a shit you faggot.

[BigCountry6775]

@Seanchoman2009

I played center and i know exactly what you mean buddy

[TheAthleticmonster]

@Seanchoman2009 kind of an ironic thing to say.

[shiron236]

@chillyayo09 I've played football and hitting is the BEST part of the game. I've had my fair share on concussions and most players really don't care. All they want to do is play the game. It's a violent game and the players know it, why are you trying to tell us what we already now? Even the founder of the NFL, George Halas, said, "football is a game of hitting." Watch the NFL Crunch Course and you'll understand. People love to watch and play football, why should do they care for your opinion?

[SomethingRadiohead]

Americans eant to see blood, they like it...otherwise they hadn't realized a race like Nascar in which there are 50 cars, in a fucking stupid egg track!

[shiron236]

@SomethingRadiohead Um, I have no clue what you're saying.

[lile2780]

Get a real tackle, not a shoulder hit.

[MrYungFatal]

@chillyayo09 Well, I guess in America we aren't regular, becuz we are watching it for the contact. Getting hurt is apart of the game and it always has been. I don't know where you are from, and frankly, I don't care. All I know, is that this is an American sport and that's why us REAL fans watch the game and buy jersies and other NFL items. People have been getting knocked out for a long time, now, maybe you haven't realized that. It's not becuz of anything, but the speed of the game.

[jiggaluv123]

Hi, this is Sports Science.

When a football player gets hit, his spit travels a whopping 35 mph at an angle of 63 degrees. At that rate, the spit will hit the floor in 1.3 seconds. That's faster than a Ferrari.

WOW!

[MrYungFatal]

A sledge hammer? Wow! Football is about to turn into a commercial friendly sport. I could see you enforcing the rules in the NCAA, but in the NFL? Come on...These are grown men, let the boys play the game like they have been playing it for years. It's FOOTBALL...This is what AMERICA loves about the game!

[xmikex801]

I like and dislike the new rule. I feel like it will decrease in concussions but it will make the play less aggressive and a slower pace game.

[eJenks88]

@xmikex801 yea but who wants to watch if all the players are fucked up you said it wow spoken like a none football player

[Coops2517]

i hav had a concussion for almost 3 months now it blows

[Indianpackers]

ITS TIME for Young Referees,or something better. These old men with bad eye sight isn't helping the game anymore. This is 2010. If we can land on mars we can Improve Officiating. And what about some sort of "Accountability in Officiating." These same guys blow game calls and I have to see them do the Same Bad Calls every YEAR ! WTF !?

[jhayemdoubleyou]

0:33 DJ's helmet isn't cracked is it?

[yungj13]

@jhayemdoubleyou i think it is

[EhouseBoy98]

@jhayemdoubleyou ya it looks like it

[MrYungFatal]

@jhayemdoubleyou Yeah, but it must have been that way before, becuz the guy didn't hit him up there in the game, I seen it...He lead with his shoulder and hit him in the chest.

[Sk8rkoby]

@jhayemdoubleyou It looks like it.
