THREAD Good read thanks ”The San Francisco 49ers are statistically the most injured team in the NFL over the past decade. Since moving to Levi's Stadium in 2014: Top-5 in Adjusted Games Lost for 10 of 11 seasons 7-8 full Achilles/patellar ruptures (league avg: 2-3/year TOTAL) 40+ major hamstring/calf tears High-ankle syndesmosis injuries every single year No other franchise comes close.“ Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Fnord 2,738 Posted January 8 That's fascinating and freaky. If I was a FA considering the 49ers I'd think twice about signing there based on this. Great story, thanks for sharing. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I’d love to see a list by franchise, the Saints have been consistently banged up for years. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

seafoam1 3,627 Posted 5 hours ago It is not disputed that electromagnetic fields above certain levels can trigger biological effects. Experiments with healthy volunteers indicate that short-term exposure at the levels present in the environment or in the home do not cause any apparent detrimental effects. Exposures to higher levels that might be harmful are restricted by national and international guidelines. The current debate is centred on whether long-term low level exposure can evoke biological responses and influence people's well being. Widespread concerns for health A look at the news headlines of recent years allows some insight into the various areas of public concern. Over the course of the past decade, numerous electromagnetic field sources have become the focus of health concerns, including power lines, microwave ovens, computer and TV screens, security devices, radars and most recently mobile phones and their base stations. The International EMF Project In response to growing public health concerns over possible health effects from exposure to an ever increasing number and diversity of electromagnetic field sources, in 1996 the World Health Organization (WHO) launched a large, multidisciplinary research effort. The International EMF Project brings together current knowledge and available resources of key international and national agencies and scientific institutions. Conclusions from scientific research In the area of biological effects and medical applications of non-ionizing radiation approximately 25,000 articles have been published over the past 30 years. Despite the feeling of some people that more research needs to be done, scientific knowledge in this area is now more extensive than for most chemicals. Based on a recent in-depth review of the scientific literature, the WHO concluded that current evidence does not confirm the existence of any health consequences from exposure to low level electromagnetic fields.
