tell me "freak accidents" that happened in sports

From throats being slit by ice skating shoes, a football player entirely dislocating his left knee, and Even a formula racer having his legs amputated by another vehicle...

Sports can always go wrong; and there's many gruesome things that can happen anytime, so why not tell me a brutal accident that happened in sports?

Also yes, those three things are real, i'll tell the sources

Throat slit: Clint Malarchuk

Dislocated knee: Luciano Sanchez

Amputated legs by moving vehicle: Alex Zanardi
Boom Boom Mancini and Kim Duk-koo.
Kim knocked out,fell into coma and died

Saw that fight
An Indian futbol player died because of how they celebrated their goal. He did several somersaults and then broke his neck after landing awkwardly.
Magnus : SACRFICES THE ROOOOOOOK!
Also Magnus : Hangs mate!!!

Hello,
I once heard, but do NOT know if it is authentic or who the player was, that someone broke his leg playing chess.
Apparently the player had played a good move so he relaxed for a while and leaned back in his chair and casually hooked his foot round the chair leg. The opponent then played a sensational and unexpected move and the victim gasped and instinctively leapt forward from the waist up to examine the board closely; in doing so his leg was broken. I wish I knew if this has been verified.
Best wishes to all,
John.

Watched this one as well. I recall Mancini looking to the referee to step in. Always wondered if it would have changed the course of events. Mancini was one of my favorites back when boxing was worth watching.
