| | USPA - Safety - Goal Post Injuries Are Uncommon |
 | | We also wanted to know if there were any injuries associated with these goal posts and, of course, whether or not the goal judge, i.e., the flag boy wore a safety helmet and were there any injuries to the goal judges. |
 | | As you can see, despite the variety of goal posts being used, the injury level is very low, either to the players or to the flag people who stand in a precarious position between the goal posts at the end of the field in a completely unprotected state. |
