Guest Guest Posted February 10, 2012 Report Share Posted February 10, 2012 Sadly a 12 year old boy was killed when struck in the chest with a lacrosse ball. These balls are dangerous, yet the girl lacrosse players are not required to wear chest protectors or helmets. What is wrong with this picture?

Did you know that more people die from black widow spiders than rattlers? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Guest Posted February 16, 2012 Report Share Posted February 16, 2012 The chances of getting killed by a lacrosse ball to the chest are worse than being struck by lightning. You only hear about it more because it involved athletes, most of who are teenagers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The girls do not wack each other with their sticks like the men. Aren't most of the lacrosse deaths from stick hits? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No - they have been from hits to the chest. The most a stick hit will do is probably leave a very nice gash or break some bones. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Guest Posted February 23, 2012 Report Share Posted February 23, 2012 Girls cant shoot the ball hard enough to kill someone Have you ever seen the girls play? There are some bigger girls that can whip the ball pretty good, if one of the other girls got hit in the head or chest with the ball it could do some damage.

Guest Guest Posted February 24, 2012 Report Share Posted February 24, 2012 it seems like the players that have been killed have been hit in the same spot on their chests. they wear pads. it's time to pad that area better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dog123 Posted March 1, 2012 Report Share Posted March 1, 2012 Read all the articles I could on this, more padding won't do much.The window for this to happen is something like 20 milliseconds. It's like the perfect storm. Survival rate is only 15 percent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Survival rate is only 15 percent. i believe you, but still believe a think tank could create something that could protect that are. maybe they can't, but they have to try, which i'm sure you would agree. the lives are so precious.
