Natural selection.  Hang a sword over your head and it may kill you.

Damocles was right.

Swords don't kill people, bouncing balls kill people.

Bouncing balls don't kill people, gravity kills people.

Gravity doesn't kill people, the need to have blood continue to pump through your veins kills people.

The need to have blood continually pumping through your veins doesn't kill people, the need for oxygen kills people.

First, give him some pants and a sandwich.

Then mug him for some pants, a sandwich, and half a wall.

do you really think that this actually happened?? ok the circumastances could be made and stranger thnigs have happened before (george W Bush had children for example) it was more like siblings were playing with Sword and swung it a bit hard and killed brother (by accident) that sounds more plausable to me?? but i am skeptical

I can see it.  Asshat has some pirate swords or some "super teh kewl Chinese fighting swords" hanging on his wall, brother throws the ball, kid misses it, it hits the wall, he ducks and turns his head to see if something's falling, sword is razor sharp from never being actually used (and in a teenager's room ::) ), and falls as he's moving to get out of the way.  Blood loss.  Die.

Swords are rarely sold sharpened for exactly that reason... not by competent sellers, anyway.
