Severe and Catastrophic Neck Injuries Resulting from Tackle Football

Torg, Joseph S.; And Others

Journal of the American College Health Association, 25, 4, 224-26, Apr 77

Use of the spring-loaded blocking and tackling devices should be discontinued due to severe neck injuries resulting from their use; employment of the head and helmet as the primary assault weapon in blocking, tackling, and head butting should be condemned for the same reason. (MJB)
