The incidents you are referring to all involved helmets being on.

Sorry but it's not Wilson's responsibility to worry about Panarin's helmet. These aren't children. Panarin's act was dumb, you don't jump a huge enforcer with a helmet on, never mind without.
And let's not pretend that Wilson couldn't have been hurt by Panarin's jump. He could have fallen backwards on his head.
