In football if you fall, you are not going to likely break your arm falling on a very hard surface. A grass field or field turf is much more forgiving.
I know of someone that was cracked their skull falling on a basketball floor as they could not land soft.
And as a deep wing, there better not be anyone in your way or there is going to be other issues with that team. Not the same danger.
Either way, all of these things sound great, but there is always going to be something someone is not going to do. I do not get a couple of these tips, but to each his own.
