Oh hit very regularly. Daily. Injuries are common. Normally broken fingers etc. Sometimes the ball has got through the 'grill' of the helmet and broke noses or cut eyes, but obviously head injuries are rare, and one like this is unprecedented.
In the old days they used to play without helmets. Nutters.
