Did anyone catch the Louisville vs Duke game and seen the Kevin Wares' Compound Fracture leg injury? Let's just say if you haven't seen it, when you do, it will make you cringe. That said, beside feeling sorry for the poor kid, it also made me think about hiking. All Wares did was jump up to block a shot and landed on one leg, and it just snapped. On other player was near him or touched him. Just a freak accident.
How many times have I hopped off a boulder with a full pack, or jumped up and landed on one leg while on the trail. It would suck to have a massive leg injury like that while alone on the trail.
Just stay safe out there everyone.
