It really is a freak accident.
I only watched it once. It's scary for sure. Always something that's in the back of my mind every time I step on the ice
I never played organized hockey, but spent a shit ton of time skating on ponds and such with friends/other people/and a winter in the AHL (Amish Hockey League) and I never worried about anything like that happening.
Probably because our skates couldn’t cut a peanut butter sandwich. Nothing like the blades they use in good hockey.
