Heart Pad

 for lacrosse, basketball, baseball, American football, and rugby

In all the above mentioned sports, there is risk of getting struck with a ball directly over the heart, which could put the heart into fibrulation or stop it entirely. Recently a lacrosse player has died from this injury.

Apart from having defibrulator on hand, which not all schools can afford, there is a solution to this problem. A mandatory piece of protection gear over the heart. It would be a thick plastic dome that would strap around the back and be filled with a dense foam.

       I play rugby. Real men don't need padding.   

       Sure, make this available, just don't make me wear more gear to prevent a one-in-a-million injury.

       Given that first aid defibrillators are now available for less than $2,000, every school should have one in its first aid kit(s).

       Have them switch to Linux.

       how would that help, snotty?

       Windows ME is, reputedly, very expensive to maintain. There are many advantages to using Linux as a platform, and one of them is its lower implementation cost (given the right client).   

       How's your holiday so far?

       If you have to ask, you cannot afford her.
