This is horrifying.
Especially this poor kid's tweets.
Ready to rumble.
Re: This is horrifying.
Practice continued for 25 more minutes.
This pisses me off:
Practice continued for 25 more minutes.
In all fairness to the coaching staff, it would take at least that long for an ambulance to show up, collect the injured party, take them to the hospital and determine a fatality had occurred. Additionally, the article linked didn't say "practice continued" it said the following:
After the accident, Notre Dame football players were on the field for about 25 minutes before leaving the field quietly, about 15 minutes before the scheduled end of practice.
Moreover, I am sure the RO for local PD and the EMT's responding would much rather NOT deal with a crowd of bystanders.
I'm in no way defending ND's decision to allow the guy up there in the first place, as that seems like a clear-cut case of negligence. Nor am I defending the "Safety Last" culture to which decedent apparently subscribed. And for all I know Brian Kelly is a total dickhead.
But the facts aren't all available.
It's a tragic, sad and unecessary event. Sympathy is more appropriate than vitriol at this point.
I can't imagine continuing practicing from the second the lift blew over. There's no excuse.
Husbands should be like Kleenex: Soft, strong, and disposable.
He was already an ass for having the kid up there in the first place.
Mucho likes purple nails and purple cupcakes
