    Here is some high-quality insight into what is likely going on in situations such as Hamlin's.  Some speculation as well, albeit from very good sources.

    Here is literature on prognosis and therapy after cardiac arrest induced coma:

    Some patients regain complete neurological function in a period of days or months. Other patients never regain neurological function. As many have stated before, this could be a marathon.

    The way my layman’s understanding goes, is that if it was a 1:1,000,000 bad luck hit, then the heart essentially stalled. Meaning it was good to go, freak accident, restart the “engine” and go along on your merry way. 
     

    If there were multiple resuscitations, then that takes the freak hit off the list of probable causes. 

     

    Every football game there are players hit in the chest during similar intervals. Football players also wear pads.

     

    Commotio Cordis usually happens in baseball.

     

    If this indeed was Commotio Cordis, it is possible he has an underlying condition. For example, if he has myocarditis (heart inflammation) due to an infection, this would significantly increase his chances of a cardiac arrest during the contact.

     

    Correlation is not causation. It is possible the hit may of had nothing to do with the cardiac arrest. Many young athletes die every year due to some undiagnosed heart condition.

     

    It should also be pointed out Chris Pronger who was hit in the chest by a puck in 1998 was unconscious for only 20 seconds. If you watch the full video he is conscious, talking, and moving when leaving the ice rink.

    You're quoting old information from 97-98. Much has changed in 25 years. 

     

    Here is the updated 58% figure i stated before that i recalled. The increase of AED devices has been a key contribution.

    From the above literature you posted:

     

    Quote

    Higher survival rates were associated with more prompt resuscitation (40%<3 minutes vs 5%>3 minutes; P<.001)

     

    If it took longer than 3 minutes to resuscitate, the survival rate is 5 percent.
