Subject: If a soccer ball hits you in the chest...

And the person kicking the ball used all their force into their kick but was about 15 feet away from you. Can that blow to the chest still do some lethal damage like stopping your heart or at least making it skip a beat?

Signatures are for little kids.

If your heart is weak enough it could be stopped by a butterfly landing on your chest.

Someone simply tapping your chest in place of the heart at the right time could kill you so yes. The soccer ball could -blam!- you up son.

Inappropriate. Went a little to far with the butt hole tearing.

Yep, could make your heart stop.

I'm going to invade your heart like a barn swallow high on milk chocolate and grandma love.

Fairness is only possible within the limited powers of man. Elsewhere, there is only chance.

Thus I refute thee.

If it hits the area right below the center of your ribcage perhaps. There isn't much muscle or protection there.

It will probably just hurt really bad. Knock the air out (your chest) for sure.

If a 2 year old used all their force to kick a soccer ball about 15 feet away from you directly into your chest, I'm sure you would be fine.

If a professional soccer player used all their force to kick a soccer ball 15 feet away from you directly into your chest, I'm sure you would be unconscious, if not breathing.

Subjective.

~Thread-killer~

If you have a heart abnormality, any amount of high impulse force applied to the chest has the potential to be lethal. In healthy, normal individuals, any lethality from a soccer-ball is doubtful, as the ball deforms on impact, spreading the load.

If you time a sharp blow with an inelastic object between heartbeats on even a normal person, one could potentially stop the heart.

Now let's get down to business, I don't got no time to play around, what is this?

My friend kicked a football into my chest as hard as he could at like 10 feet. I was pretty badly winded but otherwise fine.

  • 11.29.2012 11:30 PM PDT

If it pierces your chest, there's a slim chance that your heart might actually stop

If you hit it hard enough with your chest the ball might deflate.

When I was 9, my PE teacher accidentally kicked a soccer ball at my friend's groin.

Talking about Sweden is an ultrabannable offense.

Posted by: Achronos
Too bad being completely and utterly wrong isn't a bannable offense.

Probably deadly if you have heart problems.

  • 11.30.2012 12:00 AM PDT

No, unless you're a toddler or something and the kicker was a professional athlete. In fact I've stopped plenty of soccer balls exactly that way while playing and I never even got a bruise.

Abdominal muscles are located, oddly enough, in the abdomen, not the chest...

I think you're thinking of pectorals.
