I’ve always hated when people call basketball a non-contact sport.  My wife can tell you I used to come home from the gym looking like I’d been mugged after an hour or two of serious hoops.

But I feel like a wuss compared to this 10-year old Australian boy who had both his hands and a foot severed in a basketball mishap:

Terry Vo was seriously injured when the wall supporting a basketball ring fell on him during a friend’s birthday party at Easter.

He now has a prosthetic lower leg and foot.
