The science behind Big Hits!

Not an american football fan myself as I am a rugby player but after watching this I have much more respect for the players of this game. Also the wipe out by the presenter is pure comedy gold. 'Thats exactly the same as getting hit by a running bull'.

  2. Those guys to wear more padding than rugby players though. So, maybe they are able to take more of a beating.

  10. They get hurt, but most of the time it's nothing serious, but that's why they have helmets ^^

  11. yeah i think because of the "armor" that football players wear, they feel like they can hit with full force. rugby would be deadly if you hit someone full force shoulder to stomach running full speed, right?

  15. Interesting, although Rugby is definitely the better game- can't the stop-start nature of American Football.

  16. I still think rugby's better, don't like the stop-start nature of the American version.
