It's also the action that causes the ACL. If you never twist your knee awkwardly, you won't tear it. So there's still a strong function of (bad) luck there.

I tore my MCL during a jumping Jack as I landed awkwardly on the side of my foot. s**t can happen in the strongest ways!

I played Soccer all through my youth, Squash for a few years in my early 20s and played Futsal for 20 years when I was older, also lots of jogging/running, been doing HIIT Pilates for the last 3-4 years, lots of twisting, turning and quick stopping in all those activities.

Never had any sort of soft tissue injury, I twisted my ankle once playing Futsal which kept me out of action for 2-3 weeks.. must have reasonable genetics, thanks mum and dad.

I did my MCL dancing at a nightclub.

I both empathize and laugh. At least I'm not alone in dumb ways to do your MCL.

Mine was in my 15th or so year of park soccer - landed on one leg after a jump trying to get the other leg up to intercept a high ball, and the knee just hyperflexed the wrong way. Bam.

Just wondering... if you can get suspended for dangerous contact with the head ... could a player ever get suspended for an act where they deliberately out their own head in danger and connected?

There's already been arguments put in the media that players that duck into tackles should actually be penalised for putting themselves in danger. I see some merit in it to tell the truth. There may come a time where we simply have to save players from themselves.

I'm all for this stuff if it's helping players better (a) evade being tackled and (b) tackle more safely. It doesn't look as though Max is teaching players how to play for free kicks which I am 110% in support of.
