Neither referee at that game saw it before running to where she was laying. She got lucky with that one and was back in the game a few minutes later.

Perhaps you are misunderstanding that the purpose of the rule is for player safety. Your sister probably should have seen a doctor that day. Having sustained a concussion and continued playing in a soccer game, it was not good for me or my team for me to stay in the game that day, and I wish I was evaluated by a better trainer or doctor during that game.
