1. Okay but the whiplash concussions are for spins not jumps from what I understand. So, your suggestion of getting rid of quads and limiting ladies to double, doesn't address that. Also, You seem to want USFSA do something about the issue, but anytime someone suggests that further research be done to determine the exact cause of concussions, you shoot it down saying they will never do anything. Are you suggesting that changes be made without doing research? That would be totally irresponsible as they could make changes and not have any idea if the rates of concussions is going down or not. Or if the changes may make the situation worse. There no research, therefore you have no idea if reducing speed will lead to less concussions or not. So, what exactly are you looking for someone to say here?
2. And if they make the suggestions you have put forth, watch the kids not want to be signed up because it isn't fun anymore. And watch the fans quit watching because every program is so slow it becomes boring. Then the sport dies for sure. Everyone is agreeing that the evidence is damning and the issue needs to be addressed. Stop acting like no one cares but you just because we disagree with your proposed solution.
Actually most whiplash concussions suffered by figure skaters (especially elite level) are from falls on jumps that cause a whiplash effect on the neck area/up into head area. That's what mine are from and I'm fairly sure Wagners as well.
