The dangerous kick

This is an interesting study about the dangers of being kicked.
Mind you, we're not talking about kicking in general her - the biggest danger is being kicked to the head while you're down on the ground. Nasty stuff!

UK -- Kicking somebody during a fight can be more dangerous than using a sharp or blunt weapon, research shows.

A study of 25,000 people admitted to A&E found use of feet was more likely to inflict serious injury than blunt or sharp objects or fists.

However, the Violence Research Group in Cardiff, found weapons caused a greater number of severe injuries.

In total, the researchers assessed 31,000 injuries inflicted on patients attending the University Hospital Wales A&E between 1999 and 2005.
