Chris Rogers, an Australian cricket player, has brought the sport’s spotlight once again onto head injuries after a recent hit to the head.

The 37-year-old was struck on the helmet by the ball during the first innings of a game but didn’t leave the field until the second when his symptoms fully materialized. According to a teammate, he thought the grandstand was moving. He has since been monitored and undergone tests several times to ensure his head health.

The incident comes mere months after cricket player Phillip Hughes died after being hit just below the ear during a similar play. The occurrences have raised head injury awareness among cricket fans and players, so perhaps the reforms that have been sweeping other sports will reach cricket as well. Hopefully future players will be able to play it safer.

*Scientists have no conclusive evidence as to whether or how the reduction of g-forces during impacts reduces the number or degree of concussions and head injuries. GelDefender products provide supplemental padding as well as cooling and comfort benefits when used with helmets and caps. Participants in activities in which head impacts can occur should always use tested and approved helmets for protection. However, no helmet or supplemental padding can protect the user from all serious head or neck injuries that can result from impacts.
