Brilliant letter in the Mail about how things used to be so much tougher

Absolutely right. When I suffered a fatal spine injury and was speared through my heart practising the pole vault I was told to stop play-acting, get up and do 100 burpees for attracting attention to myself. Nothing wrong with killing pupils as long as they produce hard, manly corpses with real gumption.

Quite right. I died twice this very morning at the gym and it's done me the world of good

Only twice - you need to man up, lad.

IIRC we had one chap run over by a car whilst crossing the road to the canteen, a chap broke his collarbone playing rugby and another chap got a javelin through the foot.

Quite disappointing compared with the death rate above.

Our yearly 1st XI vs Staff XI cricket match was notorious for brain injuries, rib injuries and general unsportsmanlike violence which was only reduced when the 1st XI bowlers were bought copious amounts of drink by the housemasters and the deceased Staff XI batsmen were replaced with teachers who didn't have brains to injure.
