Sorry, how would the aluminum shaft of a racquet separate from its handle, on a downward swing, while 10-year-old boy is holding it, striking and piercing the skull of a girl who is sitting on the sidelines... be an ACCIDENT?

Sounds like a sibling squabble got a bit out of hand and that 10-year-old boy needs to be watched verrrry closely forevermore.

I'm very suspicious of this story, myself. Somebody hit that little girl with the racquet.
