-The type of pants you have (jeans vs sweatpants)
-If you even wear pants (oh god)
-How trained the kicker is (if you are a pro footballer, I would expect you to hit it more cleanly than if you were a basketball player)
-Availability of ice nearby (cooling off the area quickly may reduce pain significantly)
-Availability of a gun nearby (blowing your brains off may be the only humane way to go)
-Level of moisture in the air (sweaty balls may lower the friction between foot and sack)
