How many times you been ko'ed

What trailer park did you live in? I kid, but geez

For whatever reason it was something kids did around that time. I lived in Las Vegas till I was 12 and we did it there. Then I moved to Des Moines and I saw kids doing it here as well. I should actually say boys as I never witnessed a girl try it. I'll wear the stupid hat on this one for sure.
 
When I was a kid we painted the lightbulbs in our basement with markers and had disco roller skating nights. It was basically pitch dark and we crashed into the metal beams. We would get HUGE goose eggs all the time from hitting the poles. Kids
 
I remember my friends and I would all put on batting helmets and have rock wars in the neighborhood. You round up a bunch of rock in your pockets, make teams and scatter. We'd even sneak on to the neighbor's roof for aerial attacks.
 
My wife is also an ATC that works with a local high school. She performs testing on the sidelines/bench for anyone that is showing symptoms of a concussions. Her school has implemented IMPACT testing, which each athlete takes the test to establish their "baseline". If they have a concussion or concussion symptoms, they are required to retake the IMPACT test and can not be returned to action until their testing results are similar to their baseline.

During varsity/sophomore football games, she does have a Doctor that volunteers his time to be down there. Although, when it comes to concussions, he lets my wife make the call on who needs to sit out. They error on the side of caution though. You show symptoms, then you are out.

My daughter's high school does this for all sports, not just football.

As for being ko'd, I've been knocked out 3x that I can remember. The first two were just for a couple of seconds, the other one was for several minutes and then semi-conscious for a few hours from a car accident. As for concussions, I've had at least 3 others going by the most recent guidelines that I know of.
 
two concussions that I know of.

1-27 years ago or so. F*cking around with my pals on the basketball floor. Got undercut and landed on my head. I was totally out for a bit. Friends said I was mumbling. I don't remember about 10 minutes of the day.

2-28 years ago or so. played goalie in soccer. didn't take much crap from the striker. Took the ball away from a kid and he kicked me square in the head. knocked me out.

Never got a concussion in football. Gave one once.
 
Are you talking about football? Well I got trucked by two linebackers and a safety simultaneously on a crossing pattern once and bit through my mouthpiece (for a moment I entertained visions of soccerdom) and lost my wind and saw some stars but dammit I held that ball.

Only time I blacked out was skiing on a run in Colorado called "Bullet." Mogul jumped up and tripped me, slammed my head on the mogul above. Got K'd the F out even with a helmet on. Word to the wise: When in doubt, wear a F'n helmet. You may get K'd the F out, but at least you'll wake the F up.
 
One time I saw a group of bikers hooting at a woman. I told them to shut up and apologize, but they got aggressive. I knocked out the first four or five with one punch each, but then one guy drew a knife, so I broke his arm and took his blade, but there were still about seven of them surrounding me. I asked who wanted to be a hero, and one guy dove at me, but I threw him into the street, and he got hit by a pickup truck, which then over turned and crushed two of the guys with rebar. The remaining three guys tried to run on their bikes, but I caught one and threw him off his bike and rode to catch the others. The first guy I caught and stabbed his tire with the knife from before, and he flipped over a bridge. The second guy was so bust worrying about me behind him, that he hit a curb and went through the window of a diner. I drove back to check on the woman who I had rescued. She insisted on taking me to bed, and then knocked me out by smashing my head into the bed board too hard.

Your pretty cool but I doubt this is true
 
I believe most of it except the part about going thru the window at the diner. That seems a little far fetched to me.
 
Wrecked my 4 wheeler and hit my head on a log. Wiped about 3 months of memory out of me and I lost all short term memory for awhile. There were a few other times where I thought maybe I had a concussion but I must not have. Otherwise I would have committed suicide by now.

So you don't remember that night we shared together. Those were not pillows you had your hands between. :)

I will never forget it or you PCH.

That was you?!!! You could have at least used some courtesy lube. I guess the bright side is that i didn't notice my head hurting so much the next morning.
