It is after Ersson looked at the helmet and gloves he wore when he injured himself - which are still bloody - that he comes into the subject.
- That's what I want to convey myself now that it's happened to me, he says, and continues:
- Visor and neck protection should be in the right places. Had it taken a decimeter further down, it would have cut on the neck.
- And had I got the skate right across the neck instead of the eye, it would have been seconds. Of course, the situation rolls in my head, what could have happened and what I had done then.
"Must sit in the right place"Ersson now hopes that he can make his teammates think differently.
- The only thing I can do is get all the guys in here to realize that the guards are in the right place. It's not worth putting it in any other way to make it look more comfortable or look better, he says, and continues:
- And that is what it is all about for many young people: That it should look right.
Have you mixed yourself with the visor or something else?
- No, I'm probably one of those who has the stuff where they should sit. So it was kind of fun that it happened to me, haha.
