Athletes put their bodies on the line all the time, opening up the constant risk of injuries. You never know when a twisted ankle is going to happen, or a stretched limb in the wrong way tears something inside.

Or, of course, when a giant tooth comes barreling towards you in a full sprint. Could happen at any moment.

Okay, enough pitter-patter. Daniel Murphy almost got run over by a giant tooth. That would certainly be one of the more humiliating injuries, but it would also be kind of hard to hold back a chuckle if you saw Murphy just get bodied some dental products.

 

 

That was close. We’re sure they will be a little more careful with where the race is run next time, or at least maybe have somebody watching for stray players.
