I guess I would trust common sense in this case. I mean I've been hit in the shins with a hockey puck while wearing shin pads a few times, they seemed to work.

I guess I would trust common sense in this case. I mean I've been hit in the shins with a hockey puck while wearing shin pads a few times, they seemed to work. This is anecdotal, but I don't think a double-blind study is needed to show that shin pads protect your shins from hockey pucks.
- DanBC 13y agoThe double blind study is to rule out other factors - are tackles more aggressive when players are wearing armour, and thus more risky? So, with helmets: Do they increase risk of neck and spinal injury by causing weird head movements during impact with floors? and etc.
