I'm putting my money on a pre-existing condition. Either that or a disturbance in the heartbeat.
I once got hit in the cheek by one of those not so softballs. I can't imagine how a rugby ball would feel like...
[QUOTE=znk666;35122962]This is why PE should be banned![/QUOTE]
I had a doctors note from a broken hand that I somehow managed to get to work through all of high school, avoided all PE except for Tennis which I chose to do, still surprised I got away with it.
My Girlfriend Comes from Basildon. She went to the same school too.
still. Such a sad way to die :(
Imagine being the parent, you just send your lovely Daughter to school, and while you are doing your stuff, the telephone suddenly rings and somebody informs you that your child died in school.
Horrible. This is seriously frightening for me.
She wasn't on the ball that day.
who had the bright idea of playing dodge ball with a rugby ball in the first place?
This is why I'm afraid of doing sports.
Then again with the previous article of that 10 year old girl dieing from a punch we must be feeding kids something wrong to make them weak, or humans are just pathetically weak naturally.
She must have had some sort of heart condition or something, I don't know how else to explain this.

the article makes no mention of dodge ball, only posts in this thread do

Bullshit, that's just a shitty excuse.

not really
I'd imagine that getting hit hard in the chest with something like a rugby ball would fuck up your heart no matter how old or buff you are
fuck, imagine being the kid that actually threw the ball..
This girl was known by many friends of mine, she was really popular.
Shame to see such a young girl go.

How come being punched in the chest isn't suddenly lethal too?
This also reminds me of the kid that recently got killed from a cricket ball in the head.
edit:
Oh fuck I have PE tomorrow at school.
I'll try not to kill anyone
[QUOTE=Chubbs;35123833]How come being punched in the chest isn't suddenly lethal too?[/QUOTE]
because a fist tends to have a larger surface area than a rugby ball therefore the force of the blow is spread across a larger area
the rugby ball probably hit very close to her heart and because of the shape of the ball the large force was focused in a small area around it

I actually have no idea what I'm talking about. I'm just speculating

Except you can exert far more force through a punch than through throwing a rugby ball anyway. Especially as the ball is going to have less inertia and air resistance to deal with.

okay
Reminds me of the time in 6th grade when one of the gym teachers put a medicine ball in with the dodgeballs. Dodgeball is illegal in NJ public schools too, so they had to call it agility ball. One kid wasn't agile enough and wound up getting a concussion :downs:
A punch to the chest can kill a 10 year old kid tough.
what a failure of a person

ban dodgeball
seriously
I read the first part of the title (ending at PE) and thought I was in for a delightful tale.
Then I finished that sentence and holy shit.
This is such a shame. I hated PE at my school, it was always really rough.
Sports should be banned! They are evil, the courpt our young and make them kill each other with balls! /crazymother
because i'm a stupid and ugly american, I've only touched one rugby ball.
and it was hard and cruel upon my hands.

You must have been playing with some pretty damn tiny rugby balls.

Try a cricket ball.
must be a bad case of a weak bone/muscle disease or something to cause death.
