Re: Tackle that person with no safety glasses

as for what was done that was a bit overboard, at the SoCal regional, i think it was the second or third day, if someone was in your pits without safteys on, your team would have 10 pts deducted from your next match. i am not sure if it was ever enforced, but i still think its too harsh

as for times when safteys not only didnt help, but actually made it worse, well, during a mini meet 2 years ago, a human player was on the field resetting it, he got nailed in the head with a soccer ball; his glasses shattered and cut open his eyebrow requiring him to go to the hospital and getting stitches. also, when a friend of mine was working on a tape drive, something malfuntioned and the tape got wedged under his safteys, scratching his cornea, however because of the safteys he could not immediatley get it away and suffered the wrath of saftey goggles...
