Kim Gorgens: Protegendo o cérebro contra concussão cerebral

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. High-school athletes are three times more likely to suffer catastrophic brain injuries than their college peers, with risk compounding after each incident. Lasting solutions mean informed choices, public advocacy, and treating helmets as vital protection.
