Yes but that completely eliminates complete accidents. There has to be a certain wiggle room for if something goes wrong and the defender truly thought he would be first to the ball. There has to be a call for that, an accidental broken ankle has to be called. So whatever that call is to you, would apply to the penalty today, just a very minor example.

Does there? Ankles have been broken by plenty of legal tackles through the years. Obviously, it shouldn't happen often because most ankle breakers would fall under the criterion of "excessive force". The player making accidental contact just proves they aren't guilty of being "careless."
