Saw this article on the dangers of headbanging by the British Medical Journal, and thought it was pretty informative and interesting...
Head and neck injury risks in heavy metal: head bangers stuck between rock and a hard bass -- Patton and McIntosh 337: a2825 -- BMJ
It talks about things like:
-The most popular "styles" of headbanging.
-Injuries that can occur from headbanging, as well as specific cases.
-Studies that have been done about headbanging.
-Ways to head bang more safely. ><
Probably the funniest part of the article was this paragraph that analyzed the headbanging motion of some of our pop-culture favorite rockers:
"We can also use the theoretical model to estimate the injury levels to two of the greatest head bangers, Beavis and Butt-head. When head banging at a tempo of 164 beats per minute to "I Wanna be Sedated"9 the range of motion of Beavis
