….how come none of the players ever lose digits in these situations?
They’re the ones not wearing parkas, gloves, etc.
It’s always the fans getting amputations or buried.
Players do wear gloves although how well heat retaining an be debated
Plus the players are alot more healthy than your average,over weight, sedate office worker who over dashes from his house to his heated/air-condition car.
They have heaters along side the benches, have super heavy tarp looking overcoat looking things they throw on when not on the field.
They tend to have superior circulation as athletes. That can’t NOT help.
