A head injury expert says that most concussions deliver 95 g's to the human body upon impact. G-force is a unit of force equal to the force exerted by gravity. In addition, the average football ...

We go inside the brain to find out what happens, millisecond by millisecond, to a brain during a concussion. ... consider that an F-16 fighter jet rolling in a turn has a G-force load of nine).

BALTIMORE — Sports-related concussions have received a lot of attention recently, but a local neurologist warns that other activities can also raise the risk for concussions or a recurrence of ...

I continue to believe that the spectrum of concussions in sports that have collisions is a ticking time bomb, and is a largely un-diagnosed public health crisis that urgently needs a solution.

In G-Force–the force exerted using mass, weight, acceleration and gravity–a woodpecker can withstand 1,200g. And, yet, the birds do not suffer any head injuries or brain trauma.

For comparison, the average g-force a military fighter pilot will experience is 9. Right now, University of Michigan researchers are conducting a pilot research study on the matter. By: Peter Maxwell ...

Typically, concussions occur with strikes of 90 to 100 g-force. “If I were subjected to an 80-g concussion, I might be down for the count. You might bounce right up and go about your business ...

The G-force threshold for most concussions is about 85 to 90 Gs. Multiple concussions can lead to long-term health effects including depression, memory loss and increased risk of Alzheimer's disease.

Berto Garcia courtesy Texas Tech. High school football players don’t have it easy. A report from 2013 states that they’re twice as likely to sustain a concussion than college players, and ...

A not-recommended helmet would allow more than six concussions at G-force levels that have been shown to produce the injury, according to Virginia Tech's calculations.

But a new Harvard study says concussions are not the biggest factor when it comes to developing CTE; instead, it can occur with repeated hits to the head, whether concussive or not.
