Question- if this sport has been going on since 1924 why are the athletes only just now starting to take their lives?

  I wonder if the older courses weren't as extreme? Our sports seem to trend toward breaking limits.

  They probably have been taking their lives all along. The knowledge that repeated head traumas can cause suicidality has only been widespread for 10 to 15 years. Before then for example it was commonly believed even by experts that the only head traumas that can cause permanent problems are those where the victim loses consciousness right after the hit.
