Both the fatalities today suffered fractured limbs.
Why are racehorses put down when they break a leg when you see cats, dogs and other animals with plastercasts on?
Is it something to do with the slenderness of their limbs compared to the mass of their bodies? Their skittishness & inability to be immobilised?
Puzzled...
