Yes, but if people died so frequently bartending that they needed safety equipment, it would be silly to say that removing the safety equipment would result in safer bar tending practices.

We already have data on what happens when football players don't have helmets; head injuries so severe they literally die.

IDK. Require a warning, read live by someone with severe CTE, before broadcasts?

Maybe there's a mechanical solution, such as helmets that track how much trauma someone experiences between practice and games, kinda like the "lifetime radiation exposure" concept.
