It's not even a decision thing; it's a workplace safety issue.
If a bunch of people were dying from the same issues on construction sites, would anyone say "they knew the risks & made a choice"?
Of course not. Expectations would be on the job sites to be as safe as possible.
It's silly to suggest this is all just a choice.
Comparisons to boxing are also stupid. Those fighters wear head gear through the amateur ranks and learn how to take punches. They also don't fall onto a rock hard sheet of ice for their head to bounce off.
The ratio of NHL fighters with these problems is far greater than boxers.
