I'd prefer the occasional fall onto a bar that'd probably tip forward than an upright to the chest/stomach/face. I think it was at the open that one of cosmic went flying and from the angle I was at it looked like he was going to land belly 1st on the upright, thankfully he didn't but it made me wince thinking about it.
Yeah, that was me. I just managed to move out of the way of the post at the last min. Sure was a close one.
Personally, I think goals with just up rights are very dangerous. A padded cross bar would be worth a test. The goal ref would call any holding / leaning.
There should also be a lot more space behind a goal in order to allow a player to ride round them more safely.
Also, after what happened to Todd at Newington, having the opening in the fence is very unsafe. We should either put a board waist height across the gap or atleast pad the posts.
