This sounds extremely painful.
Horrible accident.

Here's a story that will make you wince in pain just thinking about it and shrug off any future minor splinters. A futsal soccer player died in Brazil after a piece of the court's wooden floor pierced his abdomen. It looked as if the 23-year old player was fully alert and well as he was being strapped to the gurney, but died of hemorrhagic shock a day after the game.
Making a play on an oncoming forward, Robson Rocha Costa made a slide tackle near the goal line. Apparently, a piece of the surface hit his thigh and went up into his intestines. He was immediately rushed to the hospital where he had surgery to fix the problems, but he succumbed to the injuries a day later.
I never understood playing soccer in old gyms, and seeing this story makes me think back to all the times I ill-advisedly slid across a gym's surface to make a tackle. This is a very unfortunate, and bizarre accident, that hopefully schools will use as an example to create awareness for grungy gyms and finding these soccer leagues actual fields or legitimate indoor stadiums with turf. It's unfortunate a life had to be lost for this. It conjures up bad memories of the luger at the Olympics whose death spurred more serious discussions regarding the safety of the luge courses.

The video shows the player slide tackle and then come to an abrupt stop in mid-slide.
Then him being taken away on the stretcher.
It's not graphic, but knowing what happened to him, when I see him stop like that it send chills up and down my spine.

Yeah the article way worse than the video. To go from the outside of his thigh to his belly almost the whole plank had to be loose. That ent right. Sad way to go for the youth.
