My issue with basing this solely on these studies is that there seem to be some pretty big holes in them (I haven't had time to actually read the whole thing, just summaries so if I'm off base here I apologize). There doesn't seem to be any consideration for the type or cause of injuries, or the severity, which to me should be a major component. If the injury rate stays the same but the severity increases, or we're going from broken collarbones to concussions, then I'd say we're not only pushing the problem but exacerbating it.
