ROCK ‘N’ ROLL WILL NEVER DIE... BUT IT’LL GROW OLD WITH A REALLY STIFF NECK

After analyzing the head banging antics of heavy metal fans at Motörhead, Ozzy Osbourne and Skid Row concerts, a couple of bored researchers from the University of New South Wales have decreed that headbanging increases your risk of head and neck injuries. They claim that banging your head at an angle of 75 degrees at a tempo higher than 130 beats per minute can cause headaches, dizziness, and unknown long-term consequences. To battle this risk they suggest that heavy metal bands should play more mellow music and headbangers should decrease the range of motion of their heads and only headbang to every other beat in a song. Or just wait a few years and get bored of headbanging naturally like the rest of us. (MedicalNewsToday.com)
