Fightersdad, before such a step I feel it important to note that at his age the growth plates at either end of all his bones have not stopped growing and the sagittal and transverse sutures of the skull along with sinus and facial bones are still "mobile". Potentially in such an arena he will sustain joint dislocation w/ fracture to the attendant epiphysial plate... fractured tibial plateau and possibly by 20 y/o one leg shorter forever. Fracture sinus while still mobile, this bone called the cribriform plate (part of the ethmoid sinus) which perforated to allow the nerves from the brain to have access to the outside world (giving sense of smell and smell is linked to taste) can shear the nerves...no more sense of smell or taste. maybe wait 3 years avoid damage to future. just something to discuss w/ him. dont mean to be a killjoy.
