Injuries
Lacrosse is a dangerous contact sport. Participation in lacrosse implies
from neck, spinal or certain types of brain injuries, including injuries
caused by rotational forces. Severe head, brain, or spinal injuries including
paralysis or death may occur despite using this helmet. Below are descriptions
of certain serious injuries that may occur:
CONCUSSIONS: WARNING! Helmets do not prevent concussions. A concussion
occurs when the head accelerates rapidly and then is stopped aburptly or when
the head is rotated rapidly and then stopped. Impact to the brain can occur
when the head slams into a hard surface. The skull is stopped by the hard
be shaken. Symptoms of a concussion may include headache, nausea, dizziness
and double vision. A concussion can occur during body contact, contact with
the ground, or contact with an opponent’s stick. Severe enough contact can make
you feel disoriented or dizzy. Remove yourself from the game or practice and
seek immediate medical attention. Concussions are very serious.
SUBDURAL HEMATOMA: WARNING! Subdural hematomas can occur the same
way as concussions and can be fatal. Hematomas occur when a blocked vessel
brain. 70-80 percent of all subdural hematomas are fatal.
CONCUSSIONS: WARNING! Helmets do not prevent concussions.
NECK INJURIES: WARNING! Neck and spine injuries can occur during body contact,
contact with the ground, or contact with an opponent’s stick. Never lower your
head to use the helmet as a point of contact. This places the spine at an increased
risk of injury. Severe spinal injuries such as paraplegia (paralysis of both lower
limbs due to spinal injury) and quadriplegia (paralysis from the neck down) may
result. These neck injuries can also be fatal. They reduce the injuries to your
head but cannot protect your neck.
NECK INJURIES: WARNING! Neck and spine injuries can occur during body contact,
contact with the ground, or contact with an opponent’s stick.
SUBDURAL HEMATOMA: WARNING! Subdural hematomas can occur the same
way as concussions and can be fatal.
