Description

Every week young children are hospitalized on the playing fields of Britain. Yet this data is never collected, nor is there any concerted attempt to work out how to make sport safer. Using meticulous, peer-reviewed research, the book sets out the true risks associated with the sport, raising uncomfortable questions for politicians and the educational authorities. Would parents be so willing to let their children play rugby if they knew that the average risk of serious injury over the course of a season could be at least 17 percent, or nearly one in six?

In this carefully researched book, she confronts us with a hard choice: continue with the unfettered romance of a 'man's' game or adapt it to protect our young. -- Prof. John Ashton, President of the Faculty of Public Health
