Abstract

Preparing for the unexpected or unusual occurrence is always a challenge. When you add large collections of athletes and spectators, that challenge is certainly magnified, and proper planning and preparation are even more critical in reducing the damage done. The aim of this article is to stimulate thought toward preparing the medical director and staff in being ready to respond to the unexpected disaster at a sporting event.
