Id highly suggest anyone who's reading this, or Brayden, watch "The Crash Reel". It deals with a Snowboarded in a similar situation to Braydens and put TBI's in extreme sports into perspective. Its enlightening, funny and well put together. Most of all in sheds light on an issue thats hard for a lot of us to grasp.
