I have no clue if there are studies on this, but I would think that CTE has to be a problem in soccer as well. Taking a header from a ball kicked like 80 yards HAS to do something to the brain. I'm guessing that it hasn't been studied as extensively as football, which really started talking about it recently.

Yeah, but 450 years actually seems like some humans can do unlike the bajillion years it would take us to get anywhere.

Think of a punching bag. And you push it crazy hard. Yes, it starts by going forward, but then it swings up. That's what happens here.

Yes you did.

I mean, nothing was safe back then. Cars were death traps of you got into a wreck.

I don't know if I've wrapped my head around the physics of it, but I'm pretty sure that a sudden crash would just swing the baby up into the roof of the car with the same force of the impact. The hammock doesn't really take anything significant off that momentum, it just changes the direction. And I would think the roof of those old cars would be a lot more solid and unforgiving than the back of the seat.

There is no doubt in my mind that this incident will save dozens of lives in the future as people will have a better idea as to what to do.

That's really interesting. I always assuming the orang part was because of their color. Thanks.
