Explanation of Solution

 

Use of safety helmets increased awareness among parents as well as coaches, better helmets, alterations in the rules of the game, and medical guidance and supervision are the important steps that must be implemented without any compromise to prevent the injuries and their effect.

 

Washington law states that the athletes, who are under the age of 18 years and have sustained a concussion, should not be allowed to play or even practice the game. Over 31 states have passed such law and it is called Lystedt Law.
