Goalball: Blindfold Paralympic Reverse Dodgeball (2015x60)

Air date: Oct 26, 2015

Goalball was invented after World War 2 to help rehabilitate blinded ex-servicemen. Nearly seventy years later, it's now a Paralympic sport, where every player has a full blindfold and puts themselves deliberately in the way of a very heavy ball going at 25mph -- and in world-class games, anything up to 60mph. Do try this at home - just with the right safety equipment.
