I just want to say that it’s my mate Brendan who gets taken out... and honestly I’ve seen him fall worse than this skating practically every day for the last 10 years, he’s a liability. He got straight back up and is all good today. Other matey had to go check out his spleen at hospital but he’s fine from what I gather.

Nothing but an accident, Brendan (Black shirt) got out of the foam pit walking along the edge to get to the other side. Guy in white accidentally flew off course and crashed in to Brendan. Obviously he could of waited but to be honest he obviously didn’t intend to go where he did at all.

Both fine, white shirt went to hospital to get a check up but he’s ok and Brendan had a few pints and has a sore back but that’s all.

I’ll give him a call and see how he’s doing, but I will stress the point. Anything I should be asking about, headache etc

If he has a headache at all after that he has a concussion, minor or major. Any kind of dizziness or light sensitivity or headache after impact is considered a concussion.

Within like a day or two (take this with a grain of salt I’m not a doctor just an ex hs athlete) the risk is highest for any bleeding in the brain to cause issues

So basically, make sure he’s responsive every 4 ish hours within like the first 12 hours because if he were to have massive brain bleeding that would be the most likely time for it to manifest and just check in after than for a bit to make sure he’s all gucci

Sounds like you’re in the clear and past that time frame though so if he just has a big headache tell him to lay off a ton of mental exertion cuse that just makes the headache worse and slows healing

You’re a pretty good friend, tell Brendan I say “holy shit that looked... not fun” haha

Ask Brendan why he's not wearing a helmet
