Unbelievable video, you can see the poor guy’s (Anthony Van Loo of Roeselare) body jolt @ 0.16 secs in. This device literally saved the man’s life, numerous examples have happened in the past with tragic consequences. Mohamed Abdelwahab (Egypt), and the most famous example possibly being Marc Vivien Foe, who died while playing he Confederation’s Cup for Cameroon. A full llist of tradegy’s is on Wikipedie here. Let’s hope more footballers are proactive about their health and get these defibs implanted. An Irish company selliing them can be found here.
