Definition of Stupidity: Patient vs. Staff = Broken Arm in the Hospital :)

Whangarei Hospital, New Zealand │ Image Source: Google

According to the Oxford Dictionary, the definition of stupidity = Behaviour that shows a lack of good sense or judgement. 🙂

I believe this definition fits like a glove what happened in the Whangarei Hospital, New Zealand. A patient, who was already in the hospital, challenged a staff member to an armwrestling match and he ended up with a fractured humerus. Read more about it on nzherald.co.nz ► Arm wrestling ban after patient’s arm broken

Below you can read an answer given by John Brzenk regarding arm breaking. Although John’s answer is from many years ago, I believe it is still valid today.

John Brzenk – armwrestling.com: ” I personally have yet to be pulling against someone that has broken their arm while I was pulling with them. The reason maybe the people I pull against are veteran armwrestlers, that have been in the sport many years, and if their not. I’m normally very cautious to keep them from positioning their arm and bodies in a position where they could hurt themselves. Breaks are not common once you have conditioned your body for armwrestling. I believe the danger exists when you have a stronger then average person beginning in the sport with their weight lifting muscles being much stronger than the bone. I have been around maybe half a dozen breaks in the 20 or so years I have been in the sport. I have been hesitant at times because of this exposure, but then I ask myself what in life doesn’t come with some sort of risk? For me the excitement of competition far outweighs the very small recoverable risk involved. This is from someone that has been on the receiving end. I healed. So will your friend probably stronger than he was before the break. You didn’t break his arm. He did it to himself you just happened to be the one gripped up with him at the time. Hope you can get over it. “

VIDEO: Ryan Barnett vs. Todd Hutchings, WAL Kentucky Tournament, 12 December 2015

In case you are wondering why  didn’t win the match, my guess is that he didn’t want to because he wasn’t in a good position at the end and because  made an elbow foul at 0:33, therefore the second rule of WAL RUNNING FOUL SYSTEM was applied: ” 2. If competitor “A” commits a foul then competitor “A” pins their opponent it will result in a stop/restart with the foul rolling over to the next pull. “

This is also a FUNNY video, you will see why, scroll down 🙂

” RUNNING FOUL SYSTEM

IMPORTANT: NEVER STOP ARM WRESTLING UNTIL A REFEREE STOPS THE MATCH
1. Fouls will be announced during the match, but DO NOT STOP ARM WRESTLING.
2. If competitor “A” commits a foul then competitor “A” pins their opponent it will result in a stop/restart with the foul rolling over to the next pull.
3. If competitor “A” commits a foul then competitor “A” commits another foul, they continue to accumulate until 3 fouls/loss.
4. If competitor “A” commits a foul then competitor “B” commits a foul the match stops/restarts and only competitor “A’s” foul rolls to the next pull.
5. If competitor “A” commits a foul then competitor “B” pins their opponent it will result in a Win for “B.”
6.  Once any foul is called, that competitor must correct the foul immediately or they will continue to accrue fouls.
7.  All fouls reset to zero after each match. ”
