Here's my question. If say he had a serious injury, bleeding or a broken bone. Would you stop the play right away or wait till the play ends?

I say stop right away, my partner says wait till the play ends. I'm listening.
Yes, I would stop the play right away for a severe injury. Safety comes first. Always. Having said that, I've never had to kill the play immediately - it usually kills itself within a few seconds.
