SPEEDY69 Posted Thursday at 10:28 AM Report Share Posted Thursday at 10:28 AM 17 hours ago, gazzac said: I'm sure you had no issues after, but surely our rules are correct really just to be safe, you see so many sports people from all sports suffer long term with concussion. You're right but of course long term issues would not be negated by cessation of the sport for 7/10 days. The point I was making was about the diagnosis - this is not straightforward and many riders will have bangs on the head with after effects but may not be diagnosed with concussion. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If not enforced anywhere else then it’s a joke to be enforced here. should be enforced worldwide. I agree this is a ridiculous situation, but for once British Speedway can't take any blame for it. If British Speedway strongly feel the protocol is important for a riders health & safety officer their opponents, then I'm glad they haven't decided to do what the others do to keep the rules uniform.

Are they? 7 days minimum in Speedway. 21 days minimum in Rugby Union. And if my understanding is correct 21 days is becoming the standard globally across most sports. Are the concussions in rugby really three times worse than speedway? Or is it more to do with financial consideration in Speedway? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's a very high chance of the brain receiving trauma in a Rugby player's very next match, not so much Speedway. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To be honest if you watch the 6 nations with some of the slow motion shots 21 days is definitely the minimum. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
