Same thing at a tennis match. SPLAT he hit the asphalt and was bleeding from the face.
.....They were engaged in an outdoor COMPETETIVE activity in the summer heat. That is WAY, WAY, different than driving to Publix with the A/C on. Maybe someday the outdoor activities players will have INDIVIDUAL A/C, but it is NOT yet developed.

Actually, I was referring to driving in the snow and ice vs driving in the heat and humidity. Playing active sports in the blaring sun with heat and humiditiy is, most certainly, a decision that must be made with a lot of thought. My thoughts tell me NOT to do that sort of thing. The only activity I will do in the middle of the day in the hottest part of the summer is swimming.
