Teen dies after head injury suffered in tackle game

Ryan Satterthwaite news

19-year-old Palmerston North resident Ryan Satterthwaite has died after sustaining a critical head injury while playing an impromptu full-contact tackle game with friends.

The game is said to be inspired by the controversial “Run It” social media trend.

Police confirmed he was taken to hospital by friends but tragically died on Monday night.

Authorities and experts have voiced serious concerns about the dangerous craze, particularly following a recent Auckland event where participants were injured, including one who reportedly suffered a seizure.

  1. Condolences to the family…
    The hypocritical double standard as it applies to injuries in this country is disgusting.
    Get injured on the rugby field, in cricket or netball, and ACC will pay out ASAP!
    Get hurt on the job and you’ll get NOTHING, unless you can afford a lawyer costing thousands…!
    I know people who were injured on the job, and were denied surgery for L5S1 disk displacement, (the surgeon refused to operate…) a blown-out knee which happened on the job (also denied knee surgery by the ortho-surgeon..) and no follow-ups from requests for referrals.
    No wonder people who have money are leaving the country in droves!
    & BTW- does the Nazional Party understand that when the die-offs from Covid start happening en-masse, that there will be no budget, as there will be no money coming in…
    All of the ratepayers and taxpayers will be dead, and not producing tax revenue…

    • hey hey hey, u can’t just diss our ‘circus’.
      Imagine -according to Roy Morgan Research- 1.7 million New Zealanders would not get their weekly rugga fix!!!
      If you lose your job due to accident, you become part of the self-propagating bureau-crazy, in fact, they MAKE you a part.
      Don’t forget: They only want your best.
      And the best is -by definition- the profit a system, any system, can gain from its existence, perverted, corrupt, parasitic, overbearing, extortionist and totally unjust, screaming ‘health & safety’ at you while legally screwing you.
      It is in fact a corporation.

      • Yes signed into Law in 1962
        With the signing of the International Finance Agreement
        Which effectively signed away NZ’s Sovereignty over to the Jewish International Banking Cabal
        And with it NZ’s right to self determination and freedom as a country going forward
        Which coincidentally is when chem trailing started

  2. Many, many condolences to the family. Years of feeding, educating, trips to the doctor and dentist, Hallensteins, driving lessons, sports fixtures, movies and festivals, etc. etc. all down the drain and for what?? the dumbest of all dumb activities; drinking and driving is illegal, drinking and encouraging your mates to be an idiot and smash into another idiot is apparantly not, yet.
    Wake up people! While we look at our screens and drink in the kool aid our children are left to fend for themselves. Our children and teenagers and young people need us to be there. Not just there but present also. We need to protect them from stupidity, fraud and pornography; the law has been so intent on a backlog of ancient programming it is nowhere near up to date and this is the result. That published news outlets have promoted this idiocy is beyond belief.

    • “We need to protect them…”. Totally agree.
      However, maybe not quite as you suggest.
      The friggin’ government(s) decided to interfere with family standards, upbringing, customs, parenting, moral and edjucation since decades and what we see is the outcome.
      As much as I am sorry for personal loss, maybe the involved ought to think a bit deeper about the fact that calling for MORE state intervention is just inviting more of the hypocritical, moronic, criminalizing and outright child-abusing practices that have been creeping into Western societies.
      PARENTING needs to have an unobstructable standing and accredited value in face of systemic abuse by a perverted justice system, systemic abuse by education focused on generating dumbed down cattle instead of thinking knowledgeable individuals and systemic abuse by mouth-breathing and -frothing presstitutes.
      Meritocracy has been suffocated by parasitism disguised as socialism.
      The awakening of more people can’t happen soon enough.
      God have mercy on Godzone!

      • See the UN Human Rights Treaty Part 1, Item 1.1 in which NZ in 1978 agreed to be legally-bound by the ICCPR, Articles 12 & 17.
        Article 17 addresses the bound agreement that “No one shall be subjected to arbitrary or unlawful interference with his or her privacy, family, honour, correspondence, and in reflection the scope of Article 17 protects privacy, but also from interference with the individual’s family and home life, written affairs, personal identity and standing.”
        Subsequent Uni-Party Governments in NZ have either directly or indirectly violated Article 17…via nanny-State Government intrusions, profiling, warrantless home break-in for spying purposed put in place by via former NZPM Zionist John Key & proto-Masonic Communist Jabby, using the Zionist Peter Thiel’s Planatir System to track New Zealanders.
        CYFS interfered with good families due to those families being ‘targeted’ by the failed parasites at the MoE, MoH and J3wdicial Systems.
        Personal identities;-blacklisted for services, benefits or for being autistic / special needs.
        Home life- intruded upon.
        Family- interfered with.
        Privacy-violated while ‘protecting the same’.
        Written affairs- violated by Stats NZ, and spy technology.
        Personal Identity & Standing- wrecked by the PTB / ‘Pillars of Society’ via ‘profiling’ and ‘Social Credit’.

  3. The government along with education, health and law systems here actually covertly promote this kind of crap!
    It’s part of the implementation of Charles Darwin’s ‘Survival of the Fittest’ methodology, whereas the most athletic and bullying personalities are uplifted and promoted despite their average to low IQ from their histories of engaging in stupid things, even if it disables them for life (concussions) or kills them in order to be acceptable to ‘The Bro’s’.
    “What’s this Bro’ shit anyway?”
    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2e6_P7YA97k
    Prison fight clubs are an example- known about and tolerated by prison staff as many of them have gang ties anyway via extended families.(1.5 degrees of separation…)
    The attitude of most Boys High Schools is that bullying, exploitation of weakness, and running roughshod over others much to the teacher’s / staff approval reinforces the Darwin model.
    The successive NZ Uni-Party Governments will continue to allow this mindset to flourish, costing lives, money and denial of benefits to those who have been injured in non-Darwin-types of activities.
    One unseen motto of a Boys High School is this; “When your opponent is down, step on his throat’!
    That is the mindset of these schools.
    Most of these kids are depressed, anxious, and too busy fending off attacks as opposed to learning.
    Erica Stanford knows this, because I SENT HER THE INFORMATION!!!
    It’s also the government’s intrusion into family life via the schools, CYFS, and child-grabbing-for-eventual-prostitution agencies that are disrupting families, keeping them financially broke via ‘conformity’ who have spent tens of thousands on their children as SMH above has noted, only to experience the final expense in the form of a funeral.
    Many of these destructive activities are quietly if not secretly condoned and in many instances are activities that have crept-in via gangsta wanna-bees trying to prove themselves.
    Those students who have the common sense to realise that there is something drastically wrong with society here tough it out by being less visible, going ‘Gray Man / Woman’ until they can leave NZ.
    In the meantime, juveniles do the criminal bidding of the gangs, but that will not be happening on my lawn…
