of course everyone knows this, but just thought i would share a story.

my friend who races MX was at a competition.
i guess during when he was racing, he hit a rut or something and the bike tossed him pretty good.

Well, he ended up with a collapsed lung, shattered collar bone, and vertabrae t2 through t10 are fractured. he was able to breathe on his own after 2 days and all the tubes going into his body were removed. THANKFULLY he isnt paralyzed, but he has a long road to recovery.

he loves this stuff, rockets, atv's, dirtbikes. hes also a mechanic and has helped on michael jordans race team. i just hope he makes a full recovery.

so be careful guys!!!
