Accidents

I have been doing research for our next paper, and I have found many interesting things. The freak accidents that occur in sports, are unbelievable. A couple of years ago a lacrosse player from Cornell was struck by a ball, in the chest, during a game. It had hit him at the exact millisecond when his heart was not beating, and caused it to stop. In Binghamton, a high school lacrosse player was stick checked (legally) in the chest, and it killed him. Another incident that occurred was a 14 year old boy was warming up for a lacrosse game, where the team was doing a shooting drill. The shot that the boy took, missed the goal, so he went behind the goal to retrieve it. While he was getting it, another player took a shot that missed the goal also, and hit him in the back of the head, where his helmet did not cover. This ended up causing his death. Another incident happened in Florida, where a four year old boy walked in front of a pitch back net, where he was struck in the chest by a ball, and killed right there on the spot. Many people do not think that sports are dangerous, however they need to look more into the dangers of the sport before they play. I think that every sport, should have to have more padding involved when playing, to prevent deaths, and accidents like these.
