The only player hurt by one of these "life threatening" hits was Darrell Jackson. That hit wasn't even helmet to helmet. They only threw the flag because he didn't get up. I don't care about players who miss 2 plays because they're shaken up, that's football.
All of you who think that they are outlawed to protect against injury are correct. However, this year more players are out because of injury, at this point in the season, than in any other year the NFL has been existence. Those stats include when they were AFL and NFL when Jack Tatum and Deacon Jones were doing all of the things that we consider illegal today and more plays are hurt in this era when these hits aren't allowed.
