>Crazy these seem to happen more and more

Like so many other things, these have happened before and probably used to happen a lot more than they do now but they have become a big news story after East Liverpool

Although those are examples of places that need to have higher scrutiny of their security procedures, they are not necessarily relative comparisons. Schools just simply need to exist. Kennywood does not. There is no relevant governing body that will hold Kennywood to account other than the DA. With city schools, there are probably 2-3 that provide some degree of oversight. The point is that you can't expect a profit driven entity to make good decisions in the public interest. That's the difference.

Reply to comment by FrogMasterX in Armored MMA in Pittsburgh by Wixard00

This is more in line with the types of impacts in football, MMA, or judo for sure.

Injuries are relatively rare in my experience, the armor generally does an effective job.

Common injuries are similar to football. Sprains, tweaks etc.

There are dueling formats, such as longsword and shield and sword which are far more tame. They're more like fencing.

I don't understand why this article poses a question but does not cite specific examples. The implication may very well be true, but the Trib should complete the journalism instead of just providing clickbait and giving people who have less access to the information than they do a reason to argue.
