Sister Fails https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K0WlCUOaAk4 I think the girl on the swing at 1:20 is the first time I've ever actually clutched at my face in a Fail Video. Thankfully you can see that she was fine and it was in fact her elbows and not her face which dragged across the ground.

How many of those episodes involved the killer slicing off two of his fingers because a knife designed primarily for stabbing into a thick skin inexplicably doesn't have a handguard?

Samoan kids really should be put into higher age divisions in sports like that, their genetic superiority really is an unfair advantage.

A friend posted that on Facebook a couple days ago. That's his nephew. The comments on the video on the rugby page were really funny. "It's only because he's so much bigger than the other kids right now, it's not going to be that way forever" Um, the size disparity may be smaller but I'm pretty confident that he is always going to be the biggest guy on the field. And there were internet tough guy dads saying "if that was my kid being pushed down, me and the kids parents would have a problem". OK sure dude

A coworker's kid plays in a youth football league, but that has age and weight restrictions to avoid size disparities like this. Seems like youth rugby should have the same thing.

Helmets encourage kids to slam their heads together and are actually worse for you in the long run.

Seems like youth rugby should have the same thing. No, at least we didn't as kids in the UK. Protective equipment was voluntary and limited to just mouth guards and those cushioned hats you see some of the kids wearing. Remember that in Rugby though the tackles look much more violent than they are - at least when one of the kids isn't the loving hulk.

Protective gear on kids is tricky even when it doesn't encourage more aggressive playing. When my daughter started softball they required infielders to wear protective masks because it sucks to be a girl with missing teeth. But those rules become voluntary as they get older and sure enough you start seeing idiot parents mocking the girls who continue to wear them. Or should I say one idiot parent. Who was an EMT but liked to call himself a fireman. You'd think that's the one person who'd see the value safety gear and you'd be wrong.

If the late 80's, early 90's professional wrestling taught me anything, it's that Pacific Islanders have really hard heads. Never headbutt a Samoan.

Seems like youth rugby should have the same thing. In NZ they use weight instead of age grades and they are slowly being introduced in the uk. Makes loads more sense. That kid won't develop any skill if he just bulldozes people way smaller than, then when he gets to the senior level he won't be any good when every one else is as big as him.

Around 28" is the best. Where he doesn't have to bulldoze anybody in his path. Where he breaks away and just plain outclasses all the skinny kids in running.

Memento posted:Helmets encourage kids to slam their heads together and are actually worse for you in the long run. American football implemented helmets because the sport was going to be banned due to how many deaths happened each year due to skull fractures. http://www.history.com/news/how-teddy-roosevelt-saved-football I don't know that rugby helmets encourage headbutting, but in gridiron football a predilection for head to head contact clearly existed prior to safety equipment.

http://www.phoenixnewtimes.com/news/arpaio-receives-no-confidence-letter-and-faces-first-hearing-in-criminal-case-october-11-8645508 Arpaio's fiefdom is finally starting to implode. MCSO has had to divert funds originally going to raises for front line officers to pay for his general misconduct. quote:As a result, a $4.7 million retention plan for detention officers, which involved a pay raise for these men and women in uniform, had to be diverted to implement reforms arising from Melendres. (The remainder of the $8 million tab came from the MCSO's general fund.) The board of supervisors approved this diversion, as recommended by MCSO brass, on September 7. I can only hope his entire career comes crashing down while the old fucker is still alive.

Helmets that are actually small enough to be practical also arent thick enough to prevent concussions during impacts. Yes they of course will stop thost incredibly sever brain killing hits but instead get cumulative damage over a career.
