If a punter misses a kick it is a live ball. If the kicking team recovers, they turn the ball over on downs. (Assuming they are unable to recover the ball and covet.) If the defending team recovers it plays out the same way as a traditional fumble would.

In American football (gridine) you kick and throw it. In Irish football (gaelic) you kick, hanball and throw it. Soccer - Kick and Throw Aussie Rules - Kick, HAndball, SMILE!!!!
I'm sure they would, but not unless the ball can be kicked accurately. For a place kicker, making a kick from 70 yards out is unheard of (I believe the NFL record is 63 yards). For a punter, if you can drill the ball 70 yards down the field, great, but you would also need to be able to accurately kick it a lesser distance depending on your teams position on the field.
The basic aim of football is for your team to gain possession of the football and to kick it into the end zone.
If you get tacked in your shin so it does not snap back. Or if someone misses the ball and kick you... it really hurts.
