Impact trauma, sprains and strains, the occassional broken bone. You're placing your bod in the way of a charging person hurling a high velocity object at you :} What could possibly go wrong? :} Answer: Injuries range from mundane things like chafing and cramp to bruises and scrapes through to more serious things like broken bones, internal organ damge, concussion, and even possibly death from a major injury to the neck, head or chest.
