Quote ="Winter is Coming"I can see no way in which a compound fracture would be more likely on the I pitch. Its clearly more likely on grass. Your not going to get you studs stuck in the I pitch and have your bones give up under the pressure. If it happened then its not down to the pitch. I don't recall anyone saying Leeds should have replaced the pitch when chev walker snapped his leg.'"
Not sure about ipitch but AstroTurf used to cause more bad breaks and hyperextionsions in the nfl.
Studs caught in natural turf, heavy tackle, the turf can rip.
Artificial turf doesn't give way so it is the leg that suffers.
