Then, what are we talking about?

The time has come for US Lacrosse to mandate headgear

To this point, also 2 more slides can help - at 15:00 - "Key Findings" and 16:00 - "Key Findings" - both show the results with the same conclusion. 

Other important slides:

   Sensors and cameras were used
4. Time: 18:00 - "Beliefs about Headgear"
   Shows the uphill battle that girls don't want to wear unless mandated. The NFL, NHL, bike riding, skiing for example have gone through similar resistance to change.
