In my opinion if the facts in the article are correct, they should be sued. We practiced at day break and dusk or night. If thee a days were nrssacary we used the gym. Full pads with heat like that is reckless.

Where did you play?

[reeltight]

the South Carolina Board of Education and others failed to protect student-athletes from dangerous conditions by practicing in the 95-degree heat.

It's freak'n football...in SC. You want to protect your child, don't let him play football. You run the risk of something bad happening.

I know the attorney well. Very nice guy. Pretty crappy case. I wouldn’t pay a dime to settle that dog.

We practiced in the heat starting Aug 1...ammonia towels were heaven sent on those hot ass afternoons. You knew who to not be beside during sprints quickly b/c you knew they were puking while running. I don't care who you are, puking through a facemask while running makes it go everywhere.

Would they file a suit if he broke his neck during a tackle?

Of course they would. https://www.si.com/vault/1988/07/25/...arc-buoniconti

It’s the American way

To me that hard to prevent. I don’t feel the same way about that as I do heat. Death from heat strokes is preventable.

Why anyone would play football is beyond me.

[banded_mallard]

So here is the question if a kid dies from a heat stroke during practice, you don’t think he crossed a line? It was the kids fault? Would you feel the same way if it was your kid?

Also, the way you try to treat heat injuries can be just as dangerous as the heat injuries themselves.

Depends on pre-existing conditions and what the coaching staff knew. You could die from just about damn near anything preventable.

What the WYFF article fails to mention is that he died from " a pre-existing heart condition exacerbated by the heat that afternoon". That according to the Lexington county coroner and The State Paper

Alot more facts in that article. But still no negligence that I saw on the staff.

I feel for the kids family, his team mates, coaches, and all involved.

Page six of the summons states that Simkins went down to a knee after struggling to do up-downs and couldn't get up or catch his breath. Coaches yelled for the players to pull him up to continue. He did one more, than went down for good. That would weigh heavily on me.

As far as negligence, the plaintiff's attorneys will use that point to go after the defendants. If the staff knew he had a pre-existing heart condition, he shouldn't have been pushed to that point. If his parents knew he had that condition, and didn't tell the coaches or training staff, they bare some responsibility.

You do understand that the Complaint (not summons) is drafted by the Plaintiff’s attorney- so take it with a grain of salt. Moreover, even if true, so what? It’s not like he went down and they made him work out for another half hour. No one knew he had the pre-existing condition from what I am told.

Stop being a whiny millennial. Alot of people work in this heat. And get this, they do it all day not just at dusk or dawn.

There would have to be some sort of negligence for them to have a case. Nothing in that article came close to that. And a 95 degree heat index don't impress me.

I’m one of those people. I work in it everyday. But I’m not running wind sprints and can get water whenever I feel like. Not the same for football practice. We got water when we were told to get water and stopped running when we were told.

So by what your saying there is not a line? It’s not possible that the coach went to far? There is not a to much? In this case. A kid DIED not just threw up.
