West Point pillow fight turns into bloody brawl. 24 concussions

broken noses, dislocated shoulders, broken bones, among the injuries. Some of the little charmers packed their pillow cases with hard objects- like their helmets

The newspaper reported that in 2012 after a cadet caused injuries by putting a lockbox in a pillowcase, the 2013 pillow fight was canceled.

So 1 guy doing this idiot move gets the next year's fight canceled, but I'm gonna guess a whole slew of them doing it doesn't get it canceled permanently?

Why not let them keep doing it, but note that anyone putting anything inside their pillows gets booted out of West Point?
