[QUOTE="Jasle, post: 657991, member: 26675"] Well I have actually been unfortunatley to see a rider crash and die racing MX. The problem was mostly that he crashed and had a concussion the week before and was wearing the same helmet the next week when he crashed and smacked his head. The foam was already compromised from the previous weeks crash and he suffered massive brain damage and ultimatley died. So it does happen. But we race on average of 40+ weekends a year for the past several years so odds are i'm going to see some injuries. But numerically speaking more injuries happen in other sports. My sister is an ER nurse and almost always the injuries they see from Motorcycle riders are weekend warriors that are just out trail riding and not wearing protective gear. None of the head injuries she has seen has been wearing a helmet. DUH! She doens't like the fact that I let my 7 year old race and my 3 year old ride. In 3 years of my 7 year old racing he has only broken a collar bone. But he wears helmet, neck support, special pad under roost protector, elbow pads, knee pads, quality boots, mouthpiece, ear plugs, kidney belt, a football rib pad. The three year old is hilarious. He is decked out so much he can barely walk but he climbs on the pw and goes for it. He wants to race but we said not until he is 4. Thats the one that scares me. No fear at all. At least the 7 year old is a little scared of the bike. At least enough not to get stupid. [/QUOTE]
