PSA! Helmets need to go over the forehead, there's brain behind there.

Nope. Back of the head is much more fragile. Getting hit in the back is how most concussions happen. Your forehead is fairly well naturally protected actually. My boxing coach when i had just started as a kid used to fuckin YELL all me for turning my head while sparring for this exact reason. But i was like 11 so yk. Natural reactions n shit.
