Crashes.

Heard about this lad when it happened last May Never realised it was so serious this cutting out of paper a couple days ago. Not even sure is it was a Ebike

My riding buddy slid out on a green warmup lap berm a week ago.
Broke his chest plate and 3 ribs.
We ride black diamonds at speed.
He’s 55 and jumps everything.
1 little slow fall, took him out for the summer.

Now me ride alone for rest of summer 26.

It’s dangerous hobby to be sure.

One round here, bit short on details but it appears a young lad pinged himself in Tasmania & has ended up paralysed. Only 26.

I just got the Leatt 6.5 pro (vest part only), after bruising my ribs for the third time (this was while wearing decent level 1 and 2 protectors). Will see if I can manage the weight and heat. Sport is scary, especially the paraplegic crashes are what worries me. Might be better if it takes me out completely then, to be honest

Yes too easy to get hurt at workor at pkay . Ive only did ribs on bike not bad for forty years mtb riding. One ankle broken Hang Gliding and the other one river kayaking. More lucky at work with no injuries as I was doing dangerous jobs till I retired. Take care out there.

I've thankfully had more injuries playing football than I have riding bikes.
Last good bike injury was a shattered thumb in 1981.
