Was discussing this with friends. (In passing as cricket is not a big thing between us usually) and I made the comment that they'd have to add something like the British Marines used to wear back in the age of sail.
A leather 'gorget' to act as something to deflect things away from the throat, but seeing more information and details? Heck, not even a kevlar scarf is really going to help is it?
There is (Was?) a material I knew commercially as 'Sorbothane'. It seemed to be an impact resistor/absorber/disperser. But again, we're talking about a part of the body that it has always been difficult to protect.
Sad accident indeed.
Much cheers to all.
