Weapons on a football field?

Well, I had this great post about the homecoming game at my hometown high school. However, something happened on the server and it lost the whole thing. Instead, you get the Cliff's notes version now:

A kid gets his ankle broken with 45 seconds left to go in the 1st half. It takes over 30 minutes to carry the kid off the field. I drove home with broken ankles before so I can't figure out what took them so long. I think they formed a committee and discussed all options before proceeding (all the while the kid's laying there in pain). There's an ambulance parked at the game for just such an occasion. Or so I thought. Instead of the ambulance, an extended cab Ford truck pulls onto the field. I assume they're going to put the kid in the truck bed but there wasn't any room because of the tree stand in the bed! They've decided, as a committee, to put the kid in the extended cab of the truck (I don't see how the kid fit in there myself). One of the football players then pulls out a bow and arrows from the cab section and proceeds to inspect the fine hunting instrument. Then they had to pull out the bow case that the bow wasn't actually in. Finally, they stuff the kid in the cab. Now someone gets the great idea to stabilize the kids leg with the bow case. You can imagine that by this time I'm having a field day. It was hilarious to me. Of course, maybe I don't understand the whole story. But I have heard that ambulances are pretty good at helping people when they're injured. Its just my opinion about one of the weirdest things I've seen lately.
