Some safety equipment encourages accidents.

For bicycles though, can't really say anything negative about helmets. They save brains.

American Football though? I bet the concussion problem would go away overnight if they took them away. You don't bash your head against someone unless you think you're invulnerable thanks to a helmet anyway.

  • Flag football was meant to replace tackle football. Rather than stopping the ball being based on takedowns, the players wear a belt with flags on their hips. If an opposing player yanks a flag off the belt, that's where the stop is counted.

    Oh, but nooooo, it's not manly and powerful and warrior-like enough. So it never really got popular outside of high school gym class.
