Head and neck injury risks in heavy metal

This is the funniest thing I've seen in ages. I particularly like the mitigation options: many injuries could be prevented if AC/DC would stop playing Back In Black live, and instead play Moon River ;)

I honestly can't tell if they're taking the piss or not. There seems to be a bunch of tongue-in-cheek jokes and some completely ridiculous stuff, mixed with serious earnest science.

But I would really like to see an OH&S officer standing outside a metal gig trying to hand out neck braces. :)
