You may have wondered if padel could be dangerous. The proximity to the game, the beautiful rapids, the clumsiness also make that we sometimes see  accidents . Indeed, it is not so rare to get injured in  receiving a ball from opponents  (see his partner in some cases). Federico Chingotto can confirm this for you...

Most of the time the accident is benign, more fear than harm in the majority of cases. But watch your eyes anyway!

Indeed, the shock can sometimes cause rather serious problems. It is possible to see some players who have suffered retinal detachment. Unfortunately most often it is the operation.

That is why we see some padel players arriving with protective glasses. Squash or Basque pelota have a lot of experience on this subject and there are many models to protect your eyes. Unfortunately, few players feel comfortable with them.

In some Spanish leagues, the wearing of safety glasses has been made compulsory for the youngest… Shouldn't we imitate squash, and at least regulate it for young people at first?
