I don't think that the Hanyu/Han incident was handled irresponsibly. Neither of them was out cold. With all the skaters around it was good that the medical team didn't rush in to help and as Hanyu saw them he wanted to stand up immediatly. It looked worse than it really was because of the blood. The thing is: those things happen when a lot of skaters are on the ice and if it happens in training we just don't see it. I believe that both skaters were properly examinded by a physician after that crash.
But it's true that head injuries are a problem, f.e. young soccer players shouldn't do too many headers, it is known that this is not good for the brain when it's still in development. So I don't think that head injuries should be taken lightly, I just don't think that the Hanyu/Han crash was that bad.
