You say extreme. An MLB player hit a ball off his shin or foot and fractured it several years ago. He was out for the rest of the year I believe. I can't remember his name but he was a former Braves player and went to the Indians I believe and that is where he did it. I can picture the face but not the name.

So, instead of applying it completely, it would have to be circumstantial. Who is faking and who is not? It would be a tough call.
