You realize that a helmet isn't exactly 'padding'. You go take a helmet to the shin or cheat, it's not pleasant. If you really want to discuss injuries here, then I'm just gunna go outside and lmao. I don't want to get into this. You british dudes can say it's better, that's fine, that's an opinion. But when you say it's more physical.... wow, I'm not even going to start, I'll lose my head.
