can, however, lower their risk of concussions by taking the following
safety measures:
- Sports: Athletes should wear protective headgear for such sports as
martial arts, football, baseball, bicycling, motorcycling, rollerblading,
and skateboarding. They should make sure their helmets
and other protective gear are properly fitted. Coaches should insist
that players are taught the rules of safe play and that they follow
them. Last, players should report all head injuries to the team
doctor even if they seem minor at the time. - Workplace: People in occupations requiring hardhats should wear
them at all times, particularly in construction work. Even a small
object dropped from the upper floors of a building can cause a serious
head injury. - Home safety: Elderly persons or parents of small children should
check their house or apartment for loose rugs, poor lighting, slippery
floors, and other problems that increase the risk of falls—
which are a common cause of concussions.
