Hospital-pass Definition

(literally) A pass (for schools, military, etc.) exempting one from regular activities, to instead visit a hospital.

(figuratively, idiomatic, rugby, Australian football) A poorly executed pass to a team-mate causing the receiver to present an easy target for a defender, and thus be tackled hard.

(figuratively, idiomatic, Ultimate Frisbee) A throw that stays in the air long enough that it allows too many people to get underneath it, increasing the risk of injury and a trip to the hospital. Thus, a hospital pass.
