Guys lose an edge and injure themselves incidentally about as often as a guy lays out a big hit that concusses someone. Even if you removed hitting altogether incidental contact would still cause some injuries. It's not a rare occurrence to see two guys on the same team even blow each other up cause they don't see each other. Such is the risks of the game when it's played at such a high speed.

There's a lot more than that. It's already happened twice by the same player. and the fact it is as infrequent as it is seems to me to suggest it actually is an unnecessary play. It's not the frequency - it's the result that concerns people. Careers are on the line.
