This is actually a very unique issue that almost only occurs in America.

That is: fatal baseball injuries to children due to getting hitting the chest with a ball and it stops the heart.

Nah. People usually notice when a kids heart stops. One sign is that they can't walk.

You don't walk off getting hit in the chest so hard your heart stops. A loving ambulance is being called if only because a lawsuit from the parents is a much higher financial burden than an ambulance.

Commotio cordis

Which is what happened to NFL player Damar Hamlin last year. Happily, he was one of the lucky few to beat the odds and come back to resume his career this past season.

Commotio cordis is is very much all schad and no freude.

About a year ago, football player Damar Hamlin's heart stopped after a routine tackle that hit him exactly the wrong way. He keeled over immediately like he was dead (luckily they were able to restart his heart and get him to the hospital and he recovered fully). It was obvious he wasn't going to be walking it off.

Here is the video, which is quite shocking https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r1Z9Vd53yhI

Is there any reason beyond way more American kids play baseball than in any other country?

The Lone Badger posted:

That, pretty much. In cricket you’re not actually standing in the path of the ball.

I think it's also to do with the aluminum bats used in US little league. It makes the kids hit harder, and from what I understand, leads to a lot of injuries other than immediate death as well.

I read all the Jack Reacher books and he once punches a guy in the chest in the exact nanosecond between beats that would cause the heart to stop.

This one is so much worse than it seems. The idiot actually drove through the crossing, did a U-turn, then tried to drive back through it.

If you get hit by a cricket ball (which are made of hardened wood, rubber and leather) after someone absolutely wallops it at 100mph, in the balls - and you are not wearing a cup, your balls are simply gone. Flash vapourized.

It doesn't make any sense to me that a stopped heart with a working brain is "dead" but a beating heart with a dead brain is "alive".

I'm sure there are technical/medical/legal reasons why it has to be that way, but it's pretty weird on the face of it.

This was not the improvement I was asking for!
Re: heart-stopping play, I was at the 1998 playoff game (Detroit hosting St Louis) in which Chris Pronger blocked a shot with his chest. That mountain of a man, coasting and fully upright on his skates, suddenly looked as though he’d come unplugged. He just dropped without any type of reaction.

Credit to Detroit fans (who, deservedly, rarely receive any) for both not cheering and staying eerily quiet until play resumed quite some time later. Seeing him taken off on a stretcher, followed by a PA announcement that his wife should make her way to the ambulance bay was disconcerting as hell.

Technically you need to stay dead to have died. A non-beating heart isn't death. Everyone who is dead has no pulse, but not all without a pulse are dead. I hate this constant disrespect of death

I was there when Jiri Fischer had cardiac arrest on the bench and they postponed the game for several months (he survived but didn't play again).
