This is the oft-cited example that happened to Davis himself. It's also a good example of the importance of keeping your entire body behind the catcher when possible.

Broken bones are probably more common in baseball. I don't know enough baseball guys to have secondhand experience with that injury. I've been hit twice in maybe 100 games since I started using it: once in the fingers and one sharp foul tip to the face. I definitely got hit more doing heel-toe, probably because I did not stay as locked in through the entire pitch and my base was wider.
