The number of children who die from dog attacks each year is roughly the same as the number of children who die playing football. So, no family pet? The number of children who die riding a bike each year is about 20 times as many as die playing football. No bikes for kids?a kid going into my sisters class as a freshman actually died during football practice as my senior year of highschool was about to start.

totally unrelated to concussions though.
Is football, played at the high school level, necessarily worse than a lot of other activities as far as long term risks?
