re: Branden Oliver's Achilles tear in slow mo

Apparently this injury is far more painful for athletes and people in very good shape compared to say a middle aged man or woman just doing weekend activities. My good friend's dad tore his playing tennis and he was laughing, his leg just didn't work. My old roommate pole vaulter for LSU and one of the girl sprinters was warming up and tore hers and he said the scream she let out was terrifying. He could see it rolled up to the calf. That injury scares the shite outta me.
