From the Head and neck injury one _{(Formatting added by me)}: Possible interventions to reduce the risk of injury caused by head banging include limiting the range of neck motion through a
formal training programme delivered before a concert;
substitution of adult oriented rock and easy listening music such as the controls, or others including Michael Bolton, Celine Dion, Enya, and Richard Clayderman, for heavy metal;
and personal protective equipment such as neck braces to limit range of motion. Future research will involve neuropsychological testing of concert goers to validate the modelling presented in this paper, and randomised controlled trials of musical substitutes.

In addition, as anyone who has ever attempted sexual intercourse in a swimming pool or the sea can testify, excess watery intravaginal fluid can adversely affect lubrication. I just liked this bit. That's all.
