Abstract
Getting hit in the nose can be scary, especially if it starts bleeding a lot. Your nose is at risk in a collision with another player or piece of sporting equipment, and striking the bones in your face can be very painful. That's why wearing protective gear, like a helmet and a mouth guard, is so important when playing sports.
