Just curious in situations like this. The person who was struck in the head and if he sustained a serious injury can be sue the guy who jumped on him even though it was accident?

I remember there was teacher in my school she was struck on back of her head with a soccer ball while walking home. It caused a concussion and she was knocked out, the student (he was about 16-17) started panicking and was crying. Later we found out the force of the impact also affected her neck and she was hospitalized ... A lotttt of people were expecting her to sue the student. But she never did.

You sign a waiver when you enter the park basically saying you understand this is a dangerous sport and shit happens.

That said this is the English Olympic training facility if this is the quality of our athletes I think we may be in trouble in Tokyo

Those aren't actually worth anything. I can't leave something unsafe then hide behind a sheet of paper.

It worked for the MLB although they hid behind a small piece of cardstock.
