We are having a petanque competition at work (London) and want to know if anyone has ever been killed while playing the game. i.e. by receiving a fatal blow to the head by a petanque ball, or boule.


i havent heard of any deaths in the UK from boules, unless it was due to alcohol or food poisoning at the same event.
the worst is either being hit by a flying coche or a boule hitting an ankle - all of which can be avoided if the people are paying attention to the game they are in and the games beside them.
