also, after talking to a few old timers today, it sounds like someone needs to teach a-rod how to fall

sounds like the worst thing you can do in that situation is try and put your hand out to break the fall

other sports (hockey) teach you to never do that

Well he wasn't falling, he was being tackled/landed upon. Maybe he can't roll out of that. he tucks in the arm and maybe gets a separated shoulder. The collarbone break is an easier recovery, with better long-term prognosis, in terms of shoulder function and throwing motion.

In skiing once you are going down you collapse the knees so you basically sit hard and then roll with it.

You didn't have to talk to old timers today, all you had to do was listen to this old timer in the game day thread yesterday.

That is often how collar bones are broken.

It was an easy call for me. I have seen numerous broken collar bones in hockey, including to one of my sons, caused the same way. As explained by an ortho to me, with an extended arm jammed the way it was, the force is transmitted to the collar bone, which can break quite easily.
