I don't believe that Volpatti contacted his head at all (though the replays I've seen aren't all that clear).<br /><br />Definitely scary though - don't want to see something like that ever.Chris (@lyteforce)http://www.leftcoastbydesign.ca/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2748120234252907284.post-59943132519775195602010-11-30T09:15:07.810-08:002010-11-30T09:15:07.810-08:00I completely agree.

Is the consequence of the hit incredibly unfortunate and something to be avoided if at all possible?
