The Most Frightening Moment in Sport

[FLASHWOK]

this is perhaps the most frightening moment in the history of sport IMO.

There have been sad instances of players dying on the field etc. but this one in terms of graphicness and horror tops the list IMO

in 1989 Buffalo Sabers Hockey gaolie Clint Malarchuk was trying to make a save when a players skate cut his throat...

he almost bled to death on the ice!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

quick and excellent work from the medical teams...

his throat and cartoid artery had been severed by the skate.

My first thought too Roxy, that one was horrible. Schmikes turned around and threw up alongside the goal. An American rugby player did the same thing at the HK7s a couple of years back and the replays on the big screen as you realised what had happened were horrible.
