<p>Recently saw a kid take a lacrosse ball to the chest. Heart stopped(commodio cordis) Had full bore CPR on the field by parents from the stands. Fortunately, a AED defibrillator was brought on the field , he was shocked a couple times and came around. Spent a couple nights in the hospital but was able to go to prom the next weekend. </p>

<p>We encourage any teams with high impact projectiles such as baseball, lacrosse, hockey to have defibrillators on the field. I think I read that since 1998 something like 130 athletes have died from this. Here's alink to a PDF:</p>

<p>A few years ago in field hockey a girl took a ball to the face and broke her ocular bone. Lots of blood, really scary, and they were afraid she might go blind (fortunately she didn't.) Earlier that season I took a shot to the face (I'm a goalie but I wasn't in cage, I was next to it without my helmet on) and later another girl had her nose broken after another ball popped up.</p>

<p>A girl nearly broke her neck during spirit week's "homeroom Olympics", but luckily it was just a concussion.</p>

<p>For official sports-on my friend's softball team one of the players, when sliding, slid into another player and gave them some cuts and a concussion.</p>

<p>I fractured both wrist, dislocated 3 fingers, and didn't stop wrestling till I fractured a spinal process.... and I've seen kids in the lax team that got hit in the testes and adams apple with the ball while fooling around (and a lax ball is like a full pound of rubber)......</p>
