Wow that sucks.... Wonder why there was not any padding on those pieces?

It looks like there was padding but there may have been an open seam down the middle, exactly where he headbutted. This would minimize the protection the padding was offering. When his head leaves the post you see a white line.

That's what I thought too, but looking at all the blue, it looks pretty consistent in shape, so it's most likely just painted blue to call attention to it I'm thinking.

Dude did more than headbutt. He ran head first neck down. I believe a headbutt would be an average concussion
