This slam from Sky Brown [VIDEO] was really impressive considering her age. She recovered pretty fast afterwards.

American football? Doesn't American football have Hollywood movies on the brain damage issues? I don't think contact sports is a good comparison. You usually wear a helmet, and you get repetitive damage as part of competition. A better comparison for this exact situation would be something where a person does something similar but crashes. Here's one but with a helmet: [VIDEO].
