Every broken neck I can recall was suffered by a player wearing a helmet, and lowering the head was almost always involved...which wouldn't happen if heads were more exposed.

Football is more high speed and high powered than ever. Imagine the Sorensen goal line hit but without helmets.
And you're delusional if you think players are really going to change how they play instantly because they don't have helmets on.
Saying take the helmets off and there will be less head and neck injuries is like saying take seat belts off cars and there will be less car deaths.
