Message: [QUOTE="CuseCPT, post: 4458084, member: 645"] Yes really. Unlike fists, helmets are rounded, and are engineered to evenly distribute and absorb impacts. People die from punches, while not common, it happens. I've never heard of anyone dying from being bludgeoned with a football helmet. It's all about physics. A well-placed punch is going to be directed into a smaller impact area, ie, the surface area of the knuckles. It's why punches shatter eye sockets, knock out teeth, and break noses and jaws with regularity. I'm not saying it would tickle, but I'll take the helmet over a fist from a college football player all day. [/QUOTE]
