Head Injuries

Experienced sailors are aware of the potential consequence of an accidental gybe, when someone doesn't duck in time. Head injury can be the result.

What about the potential consequence of the random violence that we have seen recently from feral teenagers engaging in what has become known as the "knockout game?" Head injury is usually the result.
