Nah...I did a solo parachute jump & it's an exhilarating feeling free - falling. Would much rather go that way than through a possibly long drawn out wasting thanks to a punch
Dont know how reliable, Id rather take a punch than a parachute jump!
Well...where would you draw the line against a proven risk?there's now talk of banning 4G pitches due to the risk of getting cancer from those little black bits, it's getting ridiculous.

The pitch stuff all seems to stem from one chap. His son got cancer and he somehow came to the conclusion the pitch caused it.
One of his quotes is "Lewis would be training on this stuff once or twice a week for four or five years, and he would come back telling me how he swallowed a lot of it, how it got into his eyes, and in cuts and grazes"
Now its been a while since I played football but I don't recall eating the pitch or getting it in my eyes.
Not everyone catches HIV from unprotected anal sex either...but would you risk it
So proper tests ought to be able to identify the amount of risk...then the rest is up to the individual. You either choose to play on it or you don't. If money love (or potential of) means more than health it's no contest.The pitch stuff all seems to stem from one chap. His son got cancer and he somehow came to the conclusion the pitch caused it.

The Sports and Play Construction Association, which is the UK trade organisation for the sports and play facility construction industry, said there were "numerous research studies carried out worldwide" and "the current consensus is that the rubber crumb poses no significant health risk".
Good point. We don't, on the other hand, allow people suffering from terminal illness to escape their pain through a "right to die".We all know that many sports are dangerous and injuries occur in most sports. But the big difference with boxing is that in boxing the point of the sport is to injure the other person. Cock-fighting and dog-fighting has been banned but we still allow people to beat each other to a pulp.
