I just want to highlight the use of helmets when playing throw-ins...
Today I was involed in a pretty full on collision receiving a headbutt to my face (cage) and throwing me with a massive force backwards, hitting the back of my head incredibly hard on the floor and unable to use my hands to break the fall.
I don't recall having ever hit the floor with my head.
I'm pretty sure I would've very badly damaged myself had I not been wearing a helmet.
