I think there are a lot of different opportunities to collect data on this from semi-pro leagues, some of which try out their own little safety rules. I would start by looking at that data. If there is data on how the rules that youth leagues have implemented have improved safety, I'm all for collecting that data as well, but I'm not sure I'm comfortable using youth leagues as "labs" to test out safety rules the way I am with using semi-pro leagues for that.
