Hey Kid,
I think you have the wrong data on this one. It wasn't Patrick
(Cuvet) who got hit. In fact it was Cuvet who did the hitting.
The player's name who GOT hit, was Regis a french back courter,
who after 3 months and facial reconstruction surgery, almost like
Arriaga's, tried to come back and play. He wore a clear face shield
attached to his helmet, but after a short time left Dania jai-alai
for good. Regis was Cuvet 1st victim, he went on to take out Andoni
Arriaga, trying to save a rebote that everyone else in the fronton
knew was a dead non-re-turnable ball.
