Basically a blow that could be taken under normal circumstances could in effect cause another concussion. I am a physical therapist working in a nuerological inpatient rehab setting and I deal with TBI's and other similar injuries. A person could slip on ice and hemmorage and have permanent brain damage, which is tragic but shows you the fragility of our bodies..any nuerologist will tell you the expotential risk of playing contact sports after suffering his types of injuries. I just wish he would have retired instead of putting himself at risk..hopefully he will never play and put himself in jeopardy.

well done, young Skywalker.
