New Game Causes Concussions

Several Patton Middle School  students have sustained concussions caused by a "game" that is called table topping.  These concussions have not occurred during the school day, but have occurred when our students get together in social activities outside of school.

According to Urban Dictionary, table topping is defined as "an innocent bystander is standing up.  Someone gets on their hands and knees behind them, and another person pushes, making them fall backwards."

Please discourage your student from engaging in this activity, and caution them to the injuries which could result.  Thank you!
