Would Williams have been hurt if we had a normal goalpost?

Instead of those stupid paranoid automatic ones that are like 5 times bigger than a regular goalpost and with less padding?

Just a roll of the dice whether injury takes place or not; however, if the older versions are smaller in size, then risk of coming in contact with it is probably somewhat less.

Less rigidity would have helped, so yes, smaller cross-section would be better with that respect. Round might help deflect impact in a different direction instead of bringing everything to a sudden stop. It's that sudden stop that gets you.

I don't think that there's any question that's the case.

Chalk this one up to whoever couldn't stand the d@mn kids on his lawn tearing up his goalpost once every 20 years or so.

if it was smaller, it might have created more of a problem. he could have hit it in a different angle. We don't know.

Either way it's just a freak accident. I don't think size matters

Nope. The ultra expensive folding goal posts took out our best receiver.
sucks.
