No, I don't think I know more. That's why I cited what EXPERTS have said about concussions...not about what one BODY PAID BY A TEAM SAYS.
I also cited the example of Tua - very similar to what CeeDee showed the fencing posture - and how he was rushed back and then had another concussion.
READ...carefully.

Why you're at higher risk:
- Altered Brain Chemistry: A concussion causes chemical changes, leaving your brain temporarily unbalanced and prone to further damage.
- Increased Susceptibility: The brain becomes more vulnerable to subsequent impacts, which can occur with less force and cause more severe symptoms.
- Cognitive Changes: You might be less attentive or have impaired balance and focus, increasing your risk of another fall or impact.
Dangers of a Second Impact (
Second Impact Syndrome):
- This rare but catastrophic condition happens if a second blow occurs before the first concussion has healed.
- It causes rapid, severe brain swelling, leading to permanent disability, paralysis, or death.
What to do after a concussion:
- Rest: Allow your brain adequate time to heal.
- Medical Clearance: Get cleared by a doctor before returning to sports or high-risk activities.
- Avoid Re-injury: Stay away from strenuous activity and anything that could risk another head impact.
Long-term concerns with repeated concussions:
- Each subsequent concussion can have more severe symptoms and longer recovery times.
- Repeated head impacts increase the risk for Chronic Traumatic Encephalopathy (CTE) and other brain diseases.
