Devin Pike :bona fide:Jan 6, 2023

This is Buffalo #Bills assistant athletic trainer Denny Kellington. He is the reason #DamarHamlin is still alive.

He performed #CPR on Hamlin on the field Monday night, and doctors today said his speed and skill were "absolutely vital."

You never know when you will find yourself in a situation where you have the ability to save someone’s life.

It appears this was caused because he was hit in just the right place, which in turn suggests that maybe we need a redesign on those pads players wear.

@tofugolem @DevinPike it is likely less of a padding issue and more a timing issue. Commotio cordis is a known consequence of precisely timed impact. Uncommon when seen in the context of the number of impacts across sports due to timing precision needed.
