Buffalo Bills safety Damar Hamlin might have been a fraction of a second away from moving on to the next play. Hamlin suffered a cardiac arrest Monday night when he collapsed on the field in Cincinnati, was administered CPR under life-or-death circumstances and hospitalized in critical condition after what one independent board-certified cardiologist saw as a collision at the time in the cardiac cycle when the heart is most vulnerable.
“That hit had to occur at a certain point in time that was only five milliseconds long,” said Dr. Marc Cohen, Chairman of the Department of Medicine at Newark-Beth Israel Medical Center. “If that hit occurred one millisecond after or before, this may not have happened.”
What looked like a routine (by NFL standards) tackle by Hamlin on Bengals receiver Tee Higgins resulted in Hamlin getting to his feet, adjusting his facemask and immediately falling onto his back as horrified players from both sides watched trainers, paramedics and doctors assist with his breathing and restore his heartbeat.

That may be the protocol during trials, but sadly we’re past that.
If I did not believe that people were using deaths as nothing more than “bodies” to push a narrative, I’d be inclined to agree. But on both sides, there’s lots of bad faith arguments and positions.
That was not a hard hit either. People watched and it has been replayed many times.
There is a picture of Dick Butkus standing over Chuck Hughes frantically signalling for help.
There are a lot of similarities between the injuries of Hamlin and former Bill Kevin Everett. Both had an opposing playing coming right at them that they were attempting to stop, and both took the impact of their collision to the upper body and head region, with the players’ helmets colliding in Everett’s case. In Hamlin’s case, the impact came from the other player’s helmet and shoulder and he took it to his chest and chin region.

So do I, from falling off horses while competing over fences. Life is not safe. Did you know that one of the most dangerous sports of all is cheerleading?
That is incorrect. Logic never permits disproving anything.
All that can be done is investigation of an assertion and then fail to prove that assertion.
The manufacturer doesn’t disprove causation. That’s logically impossible.
A failure to prove causation is conclusive.
Something to keep an eye on if what was rare starts happening more often. Then the explanation becomes gaslighting.
I just pray he can come out of this and if so, can lead a somewhat normal life. So sad for his family and kids. I can’t imagine being his mom and watching that from the stands.
The CIA will produce a study to support that claim...
Martial arts is a sport with no protection, no armor across the chest designed to deflect these impacts. It happens most often in baseball. While researching genealogy, I found a death certificate for a shoestring relative who was playing semi-pro on a rural farm team in the 1930s. He got hit in the chest by a pitch and died at home plate.

The swine flu vaccine was pulled because there was no swine flu.
It’s been mentioned that Bills in particular have claimed they are 100% vaxxed.

That is incorrect. Over a million have died from COVID.
It wouldn’t have been a hard hit if he’d taken the force of the collision lower in his body, as is the norm. It reminds me, somewhat, of the collision that nearly paralyzed former Bill Kevin Everett in 2007. That wasn’t a particularly hard hit, either, actually, but the injury was caused by how he took that hit.
In this case, it looks from the replays like Hamlin tried to let the other player fly over him a bit so he could tackle him with his arms and body, but instead, the player hit him in the chest and chin with his helmet and shoulder. That’s more clear in slow motion, and so in that case, his cardiac arrest could realistically be caused by that collision. NFL collision - helmet and shoulder to chest and chin. Head snaps back as it happens.
From another post of mine: There are a lot of similarities between the injuries of Hamlin and former Bill Kevin Everett. Both had an opposing playing coming right at them that they were attempting to stop, and both took the impact of their collision to the upper body and head region, with the players’ helmets colliding in Everett’s case.

Where did you hear that?
BTW, these are not experimental shots. They are fully approved.
They've improved helmets but I've noticed the rest of the gear is shrinking in favor of speed
... But, down the road, I want to know what caused this,

There are many things that people want to know. In the not-so-long ago there were mysteries that could not be understood.
Today - meh. It is like we KNOW everything.
Why do women think they are men.
Why do boys decide they are girls.
How old is the Earth? The solar system?
Who killed JFK?
Some of the stuff we “know” is just a theory. Some of the evidence is misinterpreted.
And then there is outright fraud.
So, this event will have a finite news-cycle-life. Like all events.
Hope that helps.
I’m thinking it’s not the “jab” but all the other stuff elite athletes consume. Steroids, HGH, and who knows what else.
Yeah, yeah, yeah. I know the NFL has restrictions on those things but there are plenty of ways around that.
Furthermore, one of my college roommates / teammates is on the training staff for an NFL team (to remain nameless) and he says the NFL’s prohibition against performance enhancing drugs is all for “show” and in reality is as toothless as an 80 year-old meth addict.
May have happened at the point of injection.
If you exposure yourself to injury, you increase your chances of getting injured with long term effects. You have to decide if the risk is worth the reward. I know a person whose highlight of their life was their high school football career. He had a successful business career.
