Apparently the injuries have not risen to the extent that there is an uproar. Lot's of debate when the rule changed initially. Since this thread started metal has been approved in nearly all softball associations all the way down to ASA 14U this year. This leads me to believe the risk is not quite as dramatic as many believed. I'm sure there have been injuries (and probably a number of them significant), however it must not have risen much above the past injury rate.
