1. Concussions Can't Be Fully Prevented Even With a Helmet
Helmets can't fully prevent concussions because they are caused by the rapid motion of the neck and head, causing the brain to shake within the skull.
2. Half of All Concussions Go Undiagnosed
It's a startling reality that 50% of all concussions are never diagnosed or treated at all.
Don't miss the signs!

If left untreated, concussions can lead to serious and permanent damage, and in some cases, even death.
4. Kids and Teens Are at High Risk
An estimated 1.6 to 3.8 million sports-related concussions occur each year in the United States alone. In addition, studies show that the overall concussion rate tends to be higher for boys, but the rate of symptoms and recovery time is worse for girls.

6. Tozuda Lessens The Likelihood Of Second Impact Syndrome
Receiving a second heavy impact while a concussion is present could be fatal. Multiple concussions increase the risk for depression, cognitive impairment, and chronic traumatic encephalopathy (CTE).
Tozuda indicators are designed with players, coaches and parents in mind so everyone knows immediately when an impact is hard enough to get checked out.
7. A Hematoma Can Form After a Concussion
In some instances, a hematoma, a blood clot that collects in or around the brain, can form after a concussion, leading to serious neurological problems.
8. Timely Medical Care Can Reduce Rehabilitation Period
Seeking medical attention within the first week of injury can reduce the rehabilitation period by weeks or even months.
