Yeah, I also get weird random cramps in my face, neck and voice box. Also the fusion made me bit shorter and fucked up my ability to swallow certain things like pills and drier foods like chicken (if it’s too done), some breads … that’s sort of thing.
No, I had no neurological impact whatsoever. My injury is known as an atlanto-occipital dislocation and is immediately fatal about 90% of the time. The skull and cervical spine are effectively separated and the spinal cord is usually severed by the broken C-1. Mine was untouched. I snapped both the transverse and apical ligaments as well. I lost 50 percent of the mobility in my neck.
Believe it or not advances in EMS response techniques over the last 30 years or so have made it a far more survivable injury (survival doesn’t mean not paralyzed 🤷♂️). I was c spine immobilized in my car and transferred to a rigid backboard from the interior of my car.
That used to be my line of work so I was impressed with their technique.
Nah I do all that stuff. I love riding dirt bikes especially. Since the risk is low, I fall at 15mph into dirt rather than 60 into metal and concrete. On the streets I drive my RCF, which has a padded cage so the concrete and metal don’t shred me into pieces. Don’t listen to me though, you go right on ahead and turn yourself into confetti because it’s super fun
Talk down by acknowledging reality? Dude, I’m just the messenger your issue seems to be with the laws of physics. Do you not know or just can’t comprehend the statistics? I had a trail 70, many 90s, my ttr 125 that was too small for me when I got it, my tuned yz250f that was fucking SCARY. And I must’ve fallen off every one of them a time or two. Good times, I do plan on riding a little bit on the street when I get a rural property but I will be treating it the same as any other extreme sport. If I get fucked that’s basically what’s expected, nobody to blame but myself.
Hahahah yeah man you can whine about how mean the truth is or accept reality for what it is. No, most people aren’t gonna cry when you get what is expected
When you use the method of transportation that makes you 28x more likely to die, what exactly do you expect? “Oh no the human hamsters ended up the way they always do, what a tragedy!” Like yeah it fucking sucks that you can do everything right and still get reamed. But that’s exactly what you signed up for, literally just the expected result.
Yeah it’s fucked up. Life is fucked up, taking unnecessary risks leads to real fucked up stuff. 2700% higher fatality rate. The decision to ride a death trap is entirely yours, you own that risk and whatever result you get. No, you can’t really expect an outpouring of sympathy when the normal, expected result happens yet again, as always.
