Is it okay to go on rides at a theme park 11 days after a concussion?

Not a good idea: Everyone heals at different rates, for some it may be months. You may or may not be completely healed but you have to live with your brain for the rest of your life... I don't think i would risk it for an afternoon of fun. Sorry to be a downer, stay safe! there may still be plenty of fun activities that don't whip your head about.

Activity post concus: If you are no longer having symptoms of a concussion for at least 1 full week, you can participate, but if you are still having any symptoms from the concussion you should avoid any ride that would throw your head in an acceleration deceleration manner as you could develop a second impact disorder.
