I can't believe the hysteria. 'We need EMTs at the game in case someone has a heart attack and then NIU will get sued if there aren't EMT's there'!!!

Here's a rational question: how often are EMT's needed at a basketball game?

Rarely.

And to extrapolate, where shouldn't there be EMTs? With this rationale, EMTs should be stationed every single place any kind of congregation of people are gathered and if not, then someone apparently needs to be sued.

If a 90 year old man has a heart attack at church, can the church be sued? If a person has a stroke at the park, can the park district be sued? If a person chokes on a piece of candy on the bus, can the bus company be sued?

Big red hit the nail on the head. The way some on here over react to certain things is just comical, 75% of this board isn’t at any of the games anyways. Glad the kid that got hurt is fine and returned home with his team that night.
