I must agree with ileso on this. Playing ball as a 14 yr. boy and a catcher at that. Took a low pitch off the plate and oh mama I couldn't breathe or move for 10 mins.
I had a son later in life so I guess the boys survived the hit.
As far as the noggin goes I was working in a metal shop as an apprentice tool and die maker. I was tightening a lug on a milling machine with a crescent wrench that was 4ft long. The machine lurched the wrench flew and cracked me on the head. I hit the floor no blood or bump but the machine's shaft broke as a result of the wrench stopping on my skull. LOL
I had a son later in life so I guess.... never mind you get it right?
