The latest and greatest way to avoid concussions seems to be keeping your upper head the way you wanna keep your lower one te ensure maximum happyness: inflated with blood. In theory this limits the amount the brain can move back and forth in a sudden deceleration event, thus preventing neuronal damage.
The theory seems solid, although some of the justifications -such as "there are less concussions at higher altitude because the lack of oxygen makes your heart pump more blood to your head" vs "there are less concussions at higher altitude simply because there are less concussion-prone activities (and people) there"- leaves me wondering about it.
What do you guys think?
