Re: Nottingham Panthers Tragedy

I don't want to see the video that's doing the rounds, but what happened?

People who watch death videos like that need to see a psychiatrist

The video is not as gruesome as you might think. He is helped up and is being assisted to skate off the ice. You can clearly see blood on his jersey.

Re: Nottingham Panthers Tragedy

He was losing his balance going forward, so tried to regain it by extending his leg back and upwards.

I’m not at all sure that’s the case. He seemed to intentionally lift his leg to impede the player, clearly the horrible outcome was not intentional.

Think you're in a very small minority with that conclusion.

Just 29 years of age.

Being an American citizen, it's perhaps doubtful if he had any family in the UK either.

Absolutely tragic.

Maybe, I'm not an expert and not trying to troll, just looked a completely unnatural position.

I agree. I just can't see any reason why his leg should be four foot in the air. There's nowhere near enough momentum.

Interested to see that neck protectors are compulsory in many countries / leagues due to exact same causes of fatalities.

Good to know the board has professional ice skating accident investigation knowledge on it to go with every other subject where we know best

Tell us how much high level ice hockey collisions you've experienced to decide this

Ah got you, nobody is ever allowed an opinion in anything ever unless they've got a masters degree in whatever the subject is. Plenty of ex ice hockey players on Twitter are saying the same thing.

I'll leave it at that.

Are people seriously thinking he did it deliberately. I'm genuinely shocked

Didn't you just say 'Good to know the board has professional ice skating accident investigation knowledge' so how can you have an opinion on it if you aren't a 'professional ice skating accident investigator?;

Nobody thinks he went out to deliberately to hurt the guy. But quite a few think he lifted his leg on purpose in an attempt to stop the player. I don't know why that's so unfathomable to believe.

Flippant humor rather than keyboard warrior who has responded to you but in reality reacted to other stories I've been reading on the accident. Didn't mean to sound so twattish

I've watched it a few times today and am beginning to shift my opinion.
