Kim Gorgens: Proteggere il cervello dalle commozioni cerebrali

Concussions inflict invisible, lasting harm, especially on children whose brains are still developing. Impacts in youth sports can reach up to 95 Gs, rivaling car crashes and heavyweight punches.

Lasting solutions mean informed choices, public advocacy, and treating helmets as vital protection.
