You can imagine if you get 30+ people running around trying to cover each other in Jello, that there might be a few injuries. I was honestly surprised last year, when all we walked away with was only a few scrapes and bruises...especially after a gigantic hole was "found" in the playing field.
This year, again, there were some bumps. I've got a vicious bruise on my thigh about 4 inches across. But we also had a hospital run this year. The amazing thing was, it had nothing to do with Jello Wars. It was between events when an unstoppable force hit the immovable object...that would be 5'9" 150 lbs of pure determination vs 6'7" 300 lbs of youthful mass. The unstoppable force ended up with a separated shoulder and a fractured collar bone. Hearing him tell how he was trying to explain in the ER how he came to be injured and no the red stuff all over him was not blood, but Jello was hilarious.
At least having his arm in a sling and bound to his body prevented him from being thrown into the wrestling Jello face first...again.
Despite our injuries the day still provided a great deal of fun with friends. I hope he can say the same thing.
