- justinfrankel 3y agoexcept: 1) avoid the possibility of head injuries, and 2) if you suffer more than slight symptoms from daily routine, dial it back
- j45 3y agoWhile avoiding head injury is a good path to pursue, sometimes the head injury finds you. It can take very little whiplash of the skull to cause a concussion.
- RevEng 3y agoSure, but there's only so much you can do to avoid such risks. We control the risks that we can control; the rest is up to luck.
- yosito 3y agoSure, it doesn't take much. But most people's active daily routines don't result in frequent head trauma.

- hinkley 3y agoStay away from bonks and mind-straining activities, but do other things including light (aerobic, not anaerobic) exercise. Increasing toward your previous levels over time. I would add to this: If you’re a clumsy person who trips on treadmills, maybe walking on a treadmill should not be in the cards for you.
- euroderf 3y agoStay off the bicycle/skateboard/scooter eh. Take no chances - the worst case is very bad.
- jamesu 3y agoI had a pretty bad concussion when I was very young and I still remember how distorted my short term memory was right afterwards and to a lesser extent weeks after. Couldn't imagine trying to be active nowadays under those circumstances.
