No argument here! I was hit in the throat by a bouncer my first year. Danglers were not available to my knowledge then. My stance was corrected the next day and almost 30 years later, that incident remains the only one!

Let me ask this. We get hit in the forearms on occasion. Should we all wear arm guards too?
