3 times out cold. Once playing some sort of recess game, head to head, only I went down.
Second, who knows what happened, the neighbor found me out on in their yard, I must have gone off my bike and hit the sidewalk. Lost about 24 hours from that one. Third, sitting on a tennis net farting around, fell backwards, straight down to the concrete. Woke up to my two friends freaking out, they didn't bother, you know, calling for help or anything... That kinda stuff doesn't happen to kids these days, sitting on the couch playing video games and getting fat is much safer than being outside doing stuff... |
A LOT, I'm Sure!! Between decades of BMX, skating, surfing, and the other "fun stuff" guys do

Seven. No, six. Yeah, that's right, eight.

Two major ones that I know of. I was ~ 12 and executed a perfect endo on my bicycle and woke up a while later getting the blood washed off by my Dad. About 20 years ago I passed out in a store and my head hit the concrete floor. Halo skull fracture and was in ICU for a couple days. Wife said the sound of my head hitting was sickening.

First or maybe second year of riding a bike I got spooked by a car horn and went head first into a mailbox. Woke up on the couch of the mailbox owner. No harm no foul. Bu t were those different times.... Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |
Just one three years ago when on vacation in S Africa. Memorable ride in the Ambulance through Durban careening through the streets. E.R., tests, M.D. x-rays all cost..... drum roll please.... $45 U.S. thought I was hallucinating again.

Just one that I recall. I pulled myself out of the game at half, told the coach no more. 12-13 years of age. I caught hell, until the back up QB got pummeled, over and over.
I'm no Tom Brady. |
I'd say 3-5, and I didn't really play organized sports. My parents wouldn't let me play school football either. This thread is a great illustration of why people freaking out about their kids playing football is stupid, very few of the concussions listed here actually are related to football.

We cannot have a friendly discussion about gas cans in the forum because one guy that has previously bragged (in PARF) about multiple concussions including twice cracking his own football helmet cannot control his aggression.

Congrats captain obvious, we all know concussions are bad. This thread is also good evidence that despite what the lying media wants you to believe, football is not the only way to get a concussion. A friend of mine played college soccer, he wagers that he easily had 10 concussions between taking a header wrong and colliding head-on with other players. One of my friends currently has a 5th grader playing club soccer, in one game they lost players to a concussion, a broken orbital bone, and a broken arm. ONE GAME. My 8th grader has played tackle football since 3rd grade, I can remember maybe one broken arm and two concussions for any kid on his team during that timeframe. The good in organized sports, any of them, dramatically outweighs the bad.

My six year old plays hockey (and my two year old is itching to get on the ice). I must say that I'm hesitant to let him compete when he gets older and checking becomes allowed. (This is usually when the concussions start for hockey players.)
That said, it's my understanding that CTE is bad for boxers and football players because of repeated concussions over a lifetime. They estimate that some of these folks have had over a hundred concussions in their lifetime and as many as a dozen each year of playing. I don't think that one or two concussions in a lifetime is much of a concern. |
No concussions that I know of, but I got my bell rung pretty good a few times playing football.
