skategoat Posted February 3, 2010 Report Share Posted February 3, 2010 I'm amazed he stayed conscious. It had to hurt like hell. <object width="580" height="360"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ygOIy7b9mR8&hl=en_US&fs=1&border=1"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ygOIy7b9mR8&hl=en_US&fs=1&border=1" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="580" height="360"></embed></object> Apparently, he went back up for another run. Not a good decision in my opinion. I'm sure he was mildly concussed. http://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/2010/more/01/29/white.injury.ap/index.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Allee Posted February 3, 2010 Report Share Posted February 3, 2010 Didn't stop him winning, though. Although he wasn't his usual stellar self - there were definitely some bobbles in the runs. They showed it in super slow mo - I couldn't watch. You saw the hands come down as he realised he wasn't gonna make it, and then the head snapped back as he landed on his chin, and the helmet flew off. I doubt he'l be eating solid food for a few days. Ouch. Just - ouch. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
queequeg Posted February 3, 2010 Report Share Posted February 3, 2010 Wow ... that's incredible. Lucky he didn't break his neck. I've never been his biggest fan but he is obviously unstoppable. To take a that kind of a hit, and just ride off and keep riding takes something special. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Loc Posted February 3, 2010 Report Share Posted February 3, 2010 That is scary to watch. I wonder if he got checked out afterwards, eek. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skategoat Posted February 3, 2010 Author Report Share Posted February 3, 2010 Ya, he's a tough little bastard. To get to where he is now, you know he had to be tough. I'll bet he's taken worse hits in training. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
carvedog Posted February 3, 2010 Report Share Posted February 3, 2010 Pretty sure his little neck gator handkerchief thing he wears over his face saved him on that one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
