Full 90 Cranium Protection. Or are you already stupid?

Head protection and care is a life-long thing. I have had 3 concussions. I really don't like anyone even touching my head anymore.

Players at all levels are wising up to the need to prevent such problems, and are wearing in growing numbers things like the Full 90. Cranial damage from heading is minimal with or without head gear, but head to head collision injury is 33% percent less with the head gear in place.

Use of the Full 90 is clearly safer than not and the ball responds the same as if not wearing it (see below).

So wear it. Or spend your life like me worrying that someone is going to touch your head.

Ball speed.........Rebound speed:..........w/Full90.............w/o Full90
6 mph.................5.6 mph........................5.6 mph...............0
31 mph...............24.0 mph........................25.2 mph .............-1.2 mph
(Yes, the ball is fractionally slower coming off the head during a full speed header, but not much)
