This is the fifth in a series of presentations addressing issues of safety, injury prevention, and decreasing the risk of catastrophic injury—the first being published from the symposium held in 1987 at Montreal. These Symposia have been held every five to six years, which we feel is an adequate time for new ideas to be formulated. The idea is to present the latest ideas and promote discussion among researchers of expertise and experience in injury prevention and decreasing the risk for catastrophic injury. These presentations brings together researchers in a diverse group of fields, including sports medicine, bioengineering, mechanical engineering, neuropsychology, sports litigation, and sports epidemiology.
