Little League Baseball Coach Sues Player For Tossing Helmet In Celebration
I read it too. Unbelievable. Truth is, there is absolutely NO WAY a helmet could have done this. NO WAY. Unless the achilles gets sliced with a sharp piece of glass (true story, couple havin fun in the bathroom, knocked mirror off the wall, broke, sliced tendon) or cut with a hockey skate (true story, HS senior last year) the achilles always tears itself. you cannot tear it from a direct blow unless it cuts through the skin and then through the tendon.
People will often say that they got kicked, or jabbed in the tendon, but this is never the case. It just FEELS like it was kicked or jabbed. Both Kobe Bryant and Dan Marino recalled thinking they were kicked, but replays surely noted that no one was around.
The guy is an idiot.
