Hoping he pulls through. I heard in an interview with a cardiologist this happens in sports, but is of course rare. The heart is vulnerable to this happening in just a 20 to 30 millisecond window after a collision like that.

This situation reminds me a little of the Leach situation. Obviously some key differences in circumstances, but some similarities as well.

The one thing that I read about the Leach situation was it took them some time to get him the equipment/help he needed for his condition. Some people who know a lot more about medical situations than me have posited that that factor may have led to him dying. Hopefully in this case the ability to get Damar help immediately could end up saving his life.
