Seventh-grader killed by falling soccer goal
Associated Press
SAN JOSE, Calif. - A 12-year-old boy died Thursday when the iron soccer goal he was hanging from during recess fell over, hit him in the head and pinned him to the ground.
Luis Jimenez, a seventh-grader at J.W. Fair Middle School, was pronounced dead at the San Jose Medical Center, according to the Santa Clara County coroner's office.
"The kids were attempting to lift the soccer goal. We don't know why," school Superintendent Larry Aceves told the San Francisco Chronicle. "They were not playing soccer at the time."
Aceves did not know how heavy the goal was. It is estimated to be 8-feet high and 24-feet across and made of heavy iron.
Grief counselors came to the school Thursday afternoon to talk to students. About 400 children were in the area at the time of the accident.
"Staff immediately pulled the kids off the playground, but the kids definitely saw that something had happened," Aceves said.
Police cordoned off the area and talked to the students who were playing with Jimenez at the time of the accident.
According to the Web site www.safeusa.org, goal posts have been responsible for at least 22 deaths in the last 20 years, and hospital emergency departments treat about 90 goal-related injuries each year. Most of the injuries were caused by hitting one's head on the goal post or being hit or crushed by a falling goal post.http://www.mercurynews.com/mld/mercurynews/news/local/states/california/counties/alameda_county/8499150.htm
