Woman in my freshman dorm, an athlete, played the second week of school. Broke her leg. Full leg cast for 4 months. Limp for the rest of the year (she was a bitch, so I didn't try to find out if she fully recovered). Quit the broomball career before it started. Stuck with safer hockey.

Yeah, the Yuppie Twister analogy is more flawed the more I think about it. Many of the teams we play are not particularly urban or professional. Many are ex-hockey jocks, clinging to past glory. Even in no-checking leagues, the "incidental" contact can get rough. I have never seen anything too bad, but in the last three years, injuries on teams I play on have included two concussions, a broken nose, and a total of about twenty facial stitches (on three different players). I have already seen two fist fights this season (neither involving any team I play on). But maybe Bilmore is accustomed to rougher games of Twister than I remember having.
