Driving hazard cited as greater than football injuries
Baltimore neurosurgeon Dr. Charles M. Henderson told National Athletic Trainers Association members that ordinary driving poses nine times more risk for young men aged 15 to 22 than playing football. He cited a 1964 study showing 3.9 football deaths per 100k participants versus 16.7 power boat racing, 120 auto racing, 133.3 horse racing, and 278.6 motorcycling, and urged helmet redesign and less helmet tackling to cut football injuries.
