Spinal cord injuries? From a sport that has you rocketing down steep hills over rough terrain with a metal framed bicycle with little to no actual suspension? Who woulda thunk it?? Jokes aside, I wonder how that compares to dirt bike / motocross guys.
- Not to mention crashing at high speeds into trees and shit with only a helmet vs being completely covered with padding
