Safety first

[Mk2Jo]

So .. my 21 year old son does BMX Racing (not tricks) at club level and last weekend he had a race at Cyclopark, the Olympic BMX training ground at Gravesend, Kent. Many of the racers avoid this round (they call it "Psychopark") as it's a tough track and unfortunately while in 3rd position and pushing for 2nd place he felt the full wrath of the course, hit a low bump which threw him off his BMX and he face planted the deck and was knocked out cold for 5 mins ..... thank God for his safety helmet which saved him from a serious head injury ... the moral of the story is - always wear the safety gear whatever sport you do ... and never let your kids our on their bikes without a helmet!

Can't agree more, what is it with twenty something doing dangerous sports!! My lad a few weeks ago high sided his 1000cc bike at 100 mph at cadwell park. He only suffered a bruised arm and that was due to the amount and quality of gear he was wearing his leathers and crash hat were severely damaged, but they can be replaced. For once I agree with health and saftey
