Helmets do nothing to prevent sports concussions, and the quest for better equipment often backfires on players who think they’re protected and can play more dangerously, says a set of updated concussion guidelines led by researchers from the University of Calgary.

I think this is significant. Effectively, unless we start legislating some of the headshots, deliberate or not, out of the game, you're going to have resulting brain damage. To be fair, if a grown man knows the risks and decides to play anyway, that's on him, players just need to have all the information.
