Could getting hit with a ball on the right side of the chest right above breast be fatal?
3 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
No: This would be incredibly unlikely to be fatal unless the person was hit extremely extremely hard and/or had an underlying heart condition, for example.

Why do you ask?: Anything is possible, if such a traumatic force occurs with a high velocity object that causes severe issues with the vital organs such as the heart or lungs, than in very rare cases, this unfortunate unlikely event could cause dire consequences.
