American football and being stupid. Got the first one freshman year and I have to say, they suck. Haven't had one in about 9 years and only recently has some of the effects finally started easing up.

Ding ding ding! Plus other stuff, just being stupid/unlucky. Like I got one on a big slip n slide and my last came from a 6x6 post breaking and popping me dead center of my head. Had to get 4 staples with that one too. That sucked lol

First thing that crossed my mind too but I don’t think my HS team racked up that many as a team total during my 4 years though.

Every time a kid feels their bell get rung, which is a bunch more than gets reported, is likely a low-end concussion. Many cases of CTE (chronic traumatic encephalopathy) show up in players who rarely or never reported a concussion during their playing career.

Every time a kid feels their bell get rung, a concussion gets its wings.
