South Jersey Baseball: Monday, September 22, 2003 By Patrick Williams It’s a neon yellow boxy device weighing a few ticks under seven pounds -- but for a ballplayer who just took a line drive to the chest, the equipment can be a lifesaver. A baseball striking the chest on a line drive back to the mound at a velocity as low as 30 miles per hour can wreak severe damage on the chest and heart. Among the potential effects of a baseball to the chest is the disruption of the electrical conduction of the heart, which will send the body into cardiac arrest. Take a line drive to the chest and death is possible, if not probable. Eighty-four percent of people die if left untreated, according to a March 2002 article in the Journal of the American Medical Association. |
