Unbelievable this must be the first ever. Kotta Pora is not a deadly game.

Kotta pora in itself is not dangerous.

It becomes deadly when the participants sit a few meters above ground. Probably the poor student hit his head when he fell down.

Kotta Pora is a deadly game.

If you fall from the bench when fighting, your head hits the ground. This game should be banned.
