"Freak accident" might mean it doesn't happen very often, but it's still a risk. The first time I took a knee to the chin, I broke my jaw in two places. After that, I wore a cheap ($2) football mouthguard for a year or so, then I got lazy and figured it would never happen again. Last weekend, I took another knee to the chin and chipped 6 teeth, while the mouthguard was in my wakeboard bag. Now it's gonna cost me over $600 to get them fixed. $2 versus $600? Hmmm... I know chicks dig scars, but do they dig a jacked-up grille?
