Interestingly, my kid's flag football league cites stats that there are more concussions in flag football than in tackle, at least in that age group.
I am not sure that I totally believe those stats, but the larger point is that any concussion in flag football would be due to an incidental collision. However, in tackle football collisions are built into the game, so every play is an opportunity for a sub-concussive blow, the accumulation of which has been found to be more damaging than the one-off full concussion.
So, yeah. Flag football FTW.
