Marketing the use of headgear in high contact sports
2021, Journal of Retailing and Consumer ServicesCitation Excerpt :Commonly, individuals believe other sports, rather than their own, are more dangerous and have a higher risk of injuries (i.e., head injury) (e.g., Braham et al., 2004; Finch et al., 2003; Taylor et al., 2005). For example, Australian Rules football players considered rugby, boxing, and driving a car to be associated with a higher risk of head injury than Australian Rules football, which they perceived to be low to moderate in risk (Finch et al., 2003). Consequently, while 80% of players said they would wear PPE if it prevented injury, the belief that their sport was not as dangerous as other sports may have prevented them from wearing PPE (Finch et al., 2003).

2013, PM and RCitation Excerpt :This is where the use of protective equipment results in behavioral change such as the adoption of more dangerous playing techniques, which can result in a paradoxical increase in injury rates. This may be a particular concern in child and adolescent athletes where head injury rates are often higher than in adult athletes [133-135]. The competitive and/or aggressive nature of sport that makes it fun to play and watch should not be discouraged.
