Who could imagine that the famous “Duck Goose” game could be an extreme and very dangerous activity? It is time to say the truth: This game seems to be naïf, but we are really talking about a harmful game.
I had the chance ti attend to a “Duck Goose” competition placed in La Nancy. The game field was ok at first glance… but no one could think about what was going to happen next.
The game begins as is expected: Duck-Duck-Duck-Duck…Goose!!
So the players start running as fast as they can (one to occupy the place of the “goose”, the other one in order to catch the first one). But is in that exactly moment when the risk takes place. That apparently silly race is now so dangerous as a F1 racing. The players reach a speed of 152 km/h and that affect their traction to the ground so they slip like a Ferrari in a curve aced. Then the disaster occurs: one or both of the players fell down and you hear. Oh my leg, Oh my arm!! Somebody help me please. Some of them are rescued by the counsellor’s team but others stay lying on the ground waiting for an ambulance and/or a new pair of trousers because their knees or butts are now green because of the grass.
So, next time you are invited to a Duck-Goose game or to the Duck-Goose Championship in Goyana, Think about it twice---or wear a helmet and a pair of kneepads!
