the spine specialist said i would have had more damage to mine spine as my face took all of impact where as a full face would have extended my neck more.

It's got to be the most dangerous type of riding IMO.

The worst injuries seem to come from jumping.

After spending more than 5 weeks in a hospital bed, Tom Patton was finally released at 6pm Tuesday 13th November. The timing couldn’t have been better as he now gets to enjoy his 17th birthday (14th November) at home with his family and friends.

Unfortunately he will still have to wear the neck/back brace for another 5 weeks, but his progress is ever improving and he can currently walk for 10-15 minutes.

Happy Birthday Tom.

You wanna take a face plant, sustain the injuries TP did, spend over a month in hospital and then say that? Get a clue, dickhead.

If you were being sarcastic, theres a time and a place for that, and this wasn't one of them. Have some respect...

If you read back a bit, its pretty obvious that they are friends and hes joking..

Good luck with the recovery, hope to see you riding again soon.
