When a young person dies in an activity we always enjoy, it should give us pause to be sure we are doing all we can to make the game the best we can. I am not suggesting any change, but as society exponentially increases their sensorineural stimulation in most every activity, we need to not succumb to those that would not cautiously make changes in a great game.

Re: Always A Sad Story
You can guard against all injury, but there are some common sense things that can be employed that add to safety without hurting the game. You shouldn't die from playing a game.

Re: Always A Sad Story
Very sad, so much can change in an instant. It doesn't report the cause of either tragedy. I have a friend that was paralyzed diving into his pool, from his shoulders down. I have been amazed at how much a human body can endure and at other times equally amazed at just how little it takes to part the silver cord. Prayers for the families and friends.
