A few questions about getting the wind knocked out of you.
How come this happens to kids more than adults? Is it just that kids are so much more active, or is there a physiological reason?
So I read that it's a temporary paralysis of the diaphragm muscle (wiki). Is this the same as a cramp?
Can a person die from it?
