The worst injury I ever witnessed in gym class was during a game of dodgeball. One nerd caught a ricochet off another nerd’s skull, thrown by the captain of the football team.
It knocked the jock out of the game. It hurt his pride. He never fully recovered. Nowadays, gym class injuries are more common than ever!
Experts say between 1997 and 2007, the number of physical education-related injuries in kids jumped 150%.
