| Headbangers told: Wear a neck brace or risk serious injury 12/18/2008 3:00 PM, Yahoo! Music courtesy of NME.com Medical experts in Australia have warned that headbanging is likely to be behind a silent epidemic of head- and neck-related injuries. Dr. Andrew McIntosh, biomedical and injury expert at the University Of New South Wales, carried out research into headbanging, and published his findings in the British Medical Journal. McIntosh issued a stark warning to music fans who headbang. "We identified a definite risk of mild traumatic brain injury from headbanging," he said. "We would suggest a proper public health warning, as for smoking." The report calls for fans to wear neck braces when headbanging in order to protect themselves from injury. McIntosh also recommended listening to less intense music, reports The Herald. "Perhaps AC/DC should play something more appropriate, such as 'Moon River,'" he joked. All I can think about is being at a concert and seeing a bunch of metalheads with neck braces.  |

| I've seen some serious headbanging in my time and even I do alot but my neck just gets used to it after awhile. Theres no need to warn anyone about it, just have to do it less often thats all...
You cant really headbang fast to AC/DC its only classic rock not metal.... _________________  |

| Glad I'm not a metalhead. I tried headbanging once when I was younger just for the hell of it and I hurt my neck pretty bad. Never again. Besides....I think it's kind of trashy anyway...  |

| Never actually headbanged myself (I'm more of a pogo person) but I did become quite fascinated with a head banging gentleman at the COF gig because his very long hair just seemed to have a life of it's own _________________  Well, the Devil he taught us how to rock and then he turned us loose |

| All hail the only girl in the mosh pit!  As a midget I find that the ability to pogo is often the only way that I can actually see the band _________________ Well, the Devil he taught us how to rock and then he turned us loose |

It's hard to see anything when everyone aorund is so tall that it feels like you're the only short one in the room.

|  Moshers have more fun and get to amazing heights! I do have to add that I have been a posh mosher and have drunk champagne in the "pit" before but I blame Lynne entirely for that! _________________ Well, the Devil he taught us how to rock and then he turned us loose |

| If you hurt your neck headbanging, then I think it is about time you add a new move into your routine. _________________ I'm a werewolf, not a vampire!   |
