Every time I think I have a grip on just how many utter idiots there are, I soon discover that I've understimated that number yet again. And badly. I used to think I've been too hard on Americans re: their ignorance and stupidity. I've finally come to understand I've actually been far too optimistic about it.
Wow. If ND does right even just 1 of about 17 things they did wrong, they win this game. Just amazing. They literally invited aggy back into the game with sheer stupidity.
It'd really be cool if they could start doing that sometime soon then. I dunno what it looked like at the game, but it sure looked on tv like we couldn't get receivers open.
It surely slows them down a bit if they're trying to remove the helmet, but it's still excruciatingly slow, and the helmet doesn't need to be removed before transport. It's typically recommend to not remove it. It's possible they might need to remove the facemask to provide high-flow O2, but that shouldn't take long. If they were doing CPR that would slow them down, but that wasn't happening.
ETA: @Hank_Hill sorry, I was trying to reply directly to your post. Dunno what happened. Guess I Domer'd it up.
There is, and it is commonly done much more quickly and smoothly by Fire & EMS than what we typically see on the field at sporting events, without compromising patient care standards.
This shit drives me crazy when football players & other athletes have possible spinal injuries. They just take wayyyy too long to get them immobized and in the ambulance on the way to the ER.
Before this game, I told my kid that aggy can't run the ball or stop the run, and it was gonna get ugly for them pretty quickly. He didn't believe me.
Kids is so dumb.
