Distinction – Some pupils will deal with casualties suffering from three different injuries through role play, and can explain how they would administer treatment without teacher support. Some pupils will begin to explore why participants are at risk of injury whilst taking part in sport.

Sidney Brown and Stan Bayliss

Sidney Brown ruptured a kidney after tackling an Aberavon player and although he returned to the field of play, he died the next day.

Stan Bayliss dislocated his neck in a tackle against Old Blues in 1925. He was paralysed from the chest down and died a week later from respiratory failure.

Both deaths were accidental but the report did highlight the catastrophic injuries that could occur from participating in sport.
