Go to Post I trust my life to a 3650 pound rolling chunk of metal every day that, if some silicon failed in just the right (wrong?) way, would splat me pretty quickly, but I have faith in engineering. On the other hand, it doesn't turn me upside down. - DonRotolo [more]

Can trident break field boundary?

So,can you just swing that trident all over the place and not get a penalty?

Re: Can trident break field boundary?

You could poke someone's eye out with that thing!
Three at a time!
Glad we all have to wear safety goggles.

I bet if you start hitting people with the trident or poking it into the sensor box to fool the sensor into registering a ball, or interfere with the ball after you've released it (and it's rolling down the track), you'll draw some kind of censure from the Refs.

Actually i was thinking about some of these smaller gyms we use for districts in Michigan and how the next teams line up behind the team that is playing. Protecting more then your eyes may be necessary.
