Yeah the NFL knows that people running full power into one another is a major driver of injuries, it's why most non-professional leagues now don't do kickoffs and even the pros almost always signal a fair catch (meaning you can tackle them) since those are the plays most likely to hurt someone.
But frankly the big hits are what fans want. It's like crashing in NASCAR - although NFL hits are far more likely to injure you than a modern NASCAR crash lmao.
