Ja, allerdings vielleicht sogar zum Nachteil der Sportler. Es gibt Vergleichsstudien zu Kopf- und Nackenverletzungen zwischen Rugby und Football die zum Schluss kommen, dass Football Spieler in dem Bereich das höhere Verletzungsrisiko haben, da man aufgrund der Schutzausrüstung in falscher Sicherheit gewiegt wird und härter reingeht.Zitat von marq
This study suggests that there is no difference in danger to the head and neck between American football and rugby as measured by hospital admission rates after presentation to an emergency department. However, injuries to the head and neck regions are more common amongst football players; the nature of these injuries is also more concerning clinically. Concussions and internal organ injuries occurred more often in football players and these types of injuries have the potential for long-term sequelae including chronic traumatic encephalopathy. It is possible that American football players have a false sense of protection due to the heavy equipment they wear. In addition, with the absence of protective padding, rugby players may adjust their tackling mechanics to be more conservative and have overall lower impact collisions compared to American football. It is important that clinicians understand these patterns of head and neck injuries as they relate to American football and rugby trauma.

Nachtrag: zum Thema Schädeltrauma bei Footballern gibt es auch einen sehenswerten Kinofilm mit Will Smith, Erschütternde Wahrheit, der auf realen Begebenheiten beruht.
