How thick is a football helmet?

A (gridiron) football helmet typically weighs between two and four kilograms (four to eight pounds) according to various gridiron helmet manufacturers.In this weight is included the face masks which are compulsory at all levels of organised gridiron football. The face mask can account for as much as half of the total mass of a gridiron football helmet, but more typically accounts for around a third of the total.On average, gridiron football helmets are the heaviest form of head protection apart from helmets for such purposes as deep-sea diving. This is because of the thick shells necessary to absorb the energy of the impact such that the headform acceleration exceeds 300g. The shell must also resist penetration of a falling 60 degree conical anvil with specific dimension.

What is a bludgeoning weapon?

A bludgeoning weapon was intended to injure or kill by shock. If it was used properly, it would kill a person in heavy armor by concussion or breaking bones. A blow to a helmet, for example, could break a person's neck without doing much to the helmet itself. If such a weapon had spikes or other sharp protrusions, it could penetrate armor, but often the intention of this was as much to rip the armor off a person as it was to stab the person in it. Clubs, cudgels, maces, morning stars, and flails were all types of bludgeoning weapons.

Is it okay to ice skate when you have a concussion?

No, I am very sorry, but it is best not to ice skate when you have a concussion. One person's confusion can mislead them on the ice, and can cause serious injuries to one already with a concussion and those around him or her. This can also damage the actual rink, leading to costly bills and expenses. Unless you want mild injuries, I suggest you avoid ice skating if you have a concussion.
