Dario Franchitti chose to retire rather than risk another concussion on the basis of medical advice. I recall Stirling Moss commenting that Sid Watkins told him years afterwards that he wouldn't even have looked at him for a racing clearance for 2 years after his Goodwood accident.
I suppose most of us have joked about racing being more important than life or death, but perhaps losing Jules BIanchi and in particular Maria De Villota ought to make F1 more cautious about the longer term effects of some injuries.
