According to Fox News.com, two California high school students severed
their fingers Monday in a game of tug-of-war during Spirit Week, The San
Gabriel Valley Tribune reported.
The students were only identified as a female senior soccer player and a
male football player, the report said. They attended El Monte Union
High School, which is
East of Los Angeles.
The students were taken to Los Angeles County-USC Medical Center where
surgeons tried to re-attach the fingers, the report said. It is unclear how
many fingers were severed. KTLA reported that each student lost at least one
finger.
Rosa Sacca, a hospital spokeswoman, told the paper that the students were in
stable condition and parents were by their bedside.
KTLA's report identified two other occasions where
individuals were badly wounded during the game. In 2008, a Minnesota
girl lost four fingers during a game and in Taiwan, in 1997, two men had their
arms severed and 40 others injured and a game with more than 1,600
participants.
