Lewis Buchanan Sustained Sacral & Coccyx Fractures In Hardline Crash

Jul 29, 2021
by Sarah Moore  


Lewis Buchanan finished 12th in Red Bull Hardline with a time of 2:45.816, but he's now announced that the crash he suffered in practice left him with a small sacral fracture & a coccyx fracture.


bigquotesThis news is honestly not a surprise to me after how hard I hit the ground last week & how tough it was for me to put together a run at Red Bull Hardline. The aching has not really eased off since (I was hoping it would so I gave it a chance) so I went and got checked out. I had an X-ray and CT scan and they have said I do have a small sacral fracture & a coccyx fracture. It’s nothing crazy bad though as I could have come away a lot worse, this is just a little bump in road. Luckily the process involves nothing other than to rest up, go through some therapy if I feel I need it & they had no doubt I’ll be back fast! It’s all pain management and it’s my body and only I know how it feels really so once the aching is going away then I’ll get back to shredding hard.Lewis Buchanan


We wish Buchanan the best of luck with his recovery.

Out of curiosity, what was your job in the military and how long were you in?

 @Mntneer: maybe veterans in the VA could try the open market for insurance and health care and see how they like it. I respect their service, but they may not have a point of comparison for who it feels to pay 1k a month for insurance for your family and still pay out the ass for scrips and service.

 @meathooker: But your insurance may just pay you much, much more than you paid them if the sh*t hits the fan. Which is the reason for insurance in the first place. And pretty much everyone has paid for healthcare insurance at one point or another.
One could argue that the military should be privatized, to only serve and protect those who pay them. Same goes for fire fighters. Trapped in a car after an accident? Please sign this contract before they cut you out. Oh, and the police would like a cheque before they stop traffic in front of your wreck.

 @Kainerm: I think a hybrid system where taxes are much lower and healthcare is only provided for the most basic of procedures. If you need anything costly or non-life saving, they do it at the point of need but then they send you a bill, or take it out of your salary like a student loan. Also, doctors get paid too much.

 @Three6ty: "Except in their high taxes."

You didn't actually do any calculations and are just talking out your bumhole, aren't you Smile

UK residents pay less for healthcare than you while receiving a better, more comprehensive service. It's a simple fact. Just like the fact you are confusing taxes with National Health Insurance. And the fact you think taxes in the UK are particularly high, which is not true at all:

United Kingdom
Gross salary £25,000
After tax £20,279
Tax rate 18.9%

Gross salary £40,000
After tax £30,480
Tax rate 24.8%

Gross salary £100,000
After tax £65,780
Tax rate 34.3%

United States

Gross salary £25,000
After tax £19,925
Tax rate 20.3%

Gross salary £40,000
After tax £30,280
Tax rate 24.3%

Gross salary £100,000
After tax £65,800
Tax rate 34.2%

Tax are beside the point of course, as we both pay health insurance on top. It's just that mine is cheaper and unlike yours, will actually cover treatment.

And let's not even get into serious long term treatment where a large portion of Americans will have to use all their savings and/or re-mortgage their homes to pay, even though they have been paying more than Brits for health insurance every year of their working lives.

 @bananowy: not sure but I don't think Americans get paid in that silly little symbol next to those income and tax figures..lol
That first figure £25000 @ 20.3% is way off of are tax bracket. When converting that to dollars would make it $34,936 @ 12% tax = $4192. That's damn near half what you pay in the UK for that income level. The only figure you got kinda right is the 24.3% bracket. The £100,000 tax bracket over here is only 24%.
If you're going to talk shit and post numbers then make sure your doing the right calculations.

 @Cord1: How so? You do realise these are not the tax bands (20%, 40% and 45%) but actual tax paid on a given salary? Do you even know how tax brackets work? Or are you one of those muppets who think if they're in the 45% bracket they pay 45% on their whole gross salary? Of course people who think that are usually not in the 45% bracket, I wonder why Wink


@jaame Call it what you want, names don't matter. You still pay less for health insurance than your American counterpart and get more in return. It's a win for your wallet AND your access to quality healthcare.

Do you know the number of available private health insurance policies anywhere in the world that provide the same coverage for the same variety of treatments with no out of pocket excess as the NHS? You have one guess.

You're mixing apples and oranges. No one with a £25,000 (equivalent) income is paying over 20% federal income tax. In fact, they are generally receiving subsidies. You can't possibly reach that level of taxation unless you include social security, state taxes (which wouldn't pay for medical care), sales tax, and potentially some other deductions.

 @bananowy: that is true. I do believe in universal healthcare but I don’t believe it should be funded in exactly the way it is currently funded, where people contribute according to their income rather than the riskiness of their lifestyle and/or the access they require to the service.
The people who use the NHS the most should be paying the most. His risk lifestyles, smoking, being obese, being promiscuous, lazy, a heavy drinker.
The Taiwanese system is better than the UK system and it is also much cheaper. They do not use the GP system (where you chances of seeing a doctor who specialises in your issue in the first instance is tiny), rather you go straight to a small specialist clinic according to your ailment. There is a small upfront cost, which I think is well worth paying and would also dissuade people from visiting the doctor every couple of weeks for something to do like my gran used to do.

Also I was out walking with my father this afternoon and we observed that most people are overweight in the UK. There are literally fat people everywhere. It’s only the kids and about 20% of adults who are not fat. The government should do something about that. That would surely take a huge burden off the NHS and cut costs massively.

Why is everyone so fat?

 @bananowy: How so? Basic math and an understanding of US income tax.

40k GBP is currently $55,640. Assuming filing as single and standard deduction(which will give the highest effective tax rate), no other reductions like pre-tax retirement account contributions, your taxable income is $43,240, your total tax liability is $5302.58, for an effective tax rate of 9.5%. Even accounting for FICA/FUTA taxes of 6.2% for anyone who works for someone else, you're still so wrong.

55640-12400=43240. up to 9875 is 10%, 9876 to 40125 is 12%, 40126 to 85525 is 22%.

 My brother in law was diagnosed at 84 with lung cancer and secondaries in his brain and kidneys. In the UK his treatment would've been palliative care to make him as comfortable as possible for what little time he had left. His treatment plan in Arkansas involved invasive treatments that "may" have lengthened his life by a few months at best, whilst drastically reducing his quality of life. Why? Because that was in his best interest, or because it was lucrative for those administering his treatment?
In the UK you can buy a 5g tube of Zovirax cold sore cream for under £5 (or $7 for those who don't understand different currencies), generic creams are even cheaper. When my brother lived in the States he attempted to purchase a 5g tube of Zovirax at a cost of $180. He was informed he needed a physician's note which wasn't covered by his insurance. Another $100. In an attempt to corroborate this anecdote I came across this story.
www.latimes.com/business/la-fi-lazarus-20150306-column.html
Yep. $2500 for something that costs under £5 here.

 @Ra1der: @Ra1der: I lived in the UK for 35 years and broke almost every bone in my body from a combination of unluckiness and stupidity in a variety of sports. I was treated promptly, professionally, and successfully every single time. This allowed me to get back on my proverbial and literal bike and enjoy doing more stupid shit until I inevitably ended up back in the ER where the docs would roll their eyes and we'd have a laugh about how we were basically all friends that hung out together every few years.

Having lived in the US for five years, I have suffered only one injury - a bloody lip caused by my teeth when I hit a rock at the side of the trail and my full face helmet saved my beautiful good looks. This cost me $2k to get fixed, plus three days off work, unpaid, due to there being no law on employers providing sick pay.

It is an unarguable fact that I now avoid jumps and drops in the trail because my mind instantly thinks "I literally cannot afford to get this wrong". I enjoy riding my bike less here because the social safety nets that are in place in EVERY OTHER SINGLE COUNTRY in the developed world are not present in the US.

I love living here, I really do, but the healthcare system is broken, and the folks who broke it have managed to convince those who suffer as a result that there is no other option, when the reality is completely the opposite.

There should be literal riots in the streets about this.

 @MumblesBarn: Truth

And the party of "small business" and "picking yourself up by your bootstraps" continues to support a healthcare system that demands one member of every family be tied to a corporate job with benefits (Ok small exaggeration. A small one), so the family can have health care. Want to start a new business? Too bad. Gotta have that healthcare.

Want treatment? Sorry, gotta check with the insurance company, which has the power to override your doctor's decisions.

Stupid.

 @MumblesBarn: you’re right but I would like to point out that statutory sick pay is claimed back from the government by the company that pays it to the sick employee - who has already paid his own salary for sick days in the form of high taxes.
Another way to look at it is if you never take sick days like me, because of how I was brought up and some feeling of honour or something, you are literally giving your money away. Those sick days I have paid for and I never use... unlike Taiwan which is a no work/no pay setup... where income tax is 4%

 @jaame: cool story bro. You are so manly not taking any sick days ever and then whining about paying for a benefit you don't use (by your own choise). If some day, God forbid, you get really sick and do have to take the sick day(s), it won't seem like such a waste of your hard earned money.

  • 2 2
 @freestyIAM:

Based on that statement I can only assume you do not own a small business.

A lot of people that I know that own small businesses have a hard time paying for healthcare etc. those people are the owner/operators and don’t have employees - just themselves.

I work for a medium sized contractor. Our insurance is the second highest cost of anything in our company - tools, equipment, trucks, etc ... insurance is the highest second only to payroll. Like 8 figures.

I agree 100% that medium/large companies should offer insurance but owner operators shouldn’t.

There is also a decent amount of people that do not use modern medicine due to religious beliefs. Under the Obama admin regulations we still have to pay insurance for them that they will literally never use. I’m sure they would rather have the 19k per year we pay out to raise their families than it disappear into the machine.

 @meathooker: seems like it would benefit small companies to have the essential service of health care not tied to their employment contracts and instead have that service funded through and implemented by the government then, doesn't it.

Cry me a river about how hard it is to provide your employees w health insurance while your dumb ass stands in the way of reasonable solutions that work in every f#$% other developed country.

 I am a healthcare professional in the states and have worked both for the VA and in big private systems. Nobody at the VA is waiting years for treatment including surgeries and we have a high satisfaction rate at the hospital I work at. There are legitimate frustrations with the VA, but the private insurance and healthcare market is destroying people's financial lives. In the states, if your financial life is destroyed it affects everything else because you need a lot of cash to live here comfortably or even feed and house yourself and your family. Healthcare bills are the #1 cause of bankruptcy in the US. The #3 cause of death in the US is due to healthcare errors made by burned out and exhausted staff, so the quality is not great even if you can afford it. We essentially live in a (grossly inequitable) socialized medical system with all the government subsidies patients and healthcare systems get due to astronomical costs.

 I have been in the healthcare industry ( luckily on the Manufacturer side) for over 23 years now, and as you know, the number one cost in healthcare systems and IDN's, are.............. Doctors and staff salary!!!!!! So to lower these costs, I'm sure you and your other healthcare workers are going to voluntarily give up 25-50% of your pay so other can have "free" healthcare, correct?

There is already a significant shortage of healthcare workers , and it will only get worse... If you think wait times are bad now, it will only get worse.
Also you mention burn out. No doubt.... This will not get better with paying people less, because the worker shortage will have more turnover, less qualified workers and the ones that do stick around will only work longer hours and get even more burned out.

 @Three6ty: MDs and RNs are well paid, but the largest single fraction of overall expenses are billing/insurance administrative costs. If insurance was not a publicly traded, for profit industry that might help quite a bit... just look at what some of the insurance company CEOs are making.

But really, Americans are so unhealthy, and so much of the expenses are going towards keeping chronically ill people alive almost indefinitely. I think a socialized system would collapse unless we as a culture start taking individual responsibility for our mental and physical health... which is why I ride the f$^king sh@! out of my MTB every chance I get!

 @MT36: 100% agree with you on our population being Unhealthy. There are no shortage of Bariatric Surgeries happening every day in America. Any many surgeons have a backlog of patients waiting to get approved for surgery. I work in the surgery realm and nearly all patients laying on that bed are overweight!
The last thing I trust our government to do is organize, implement and run a nationwide healthcare system.

Agreed on the MTB as well. Get out and ride!!!!!! Have a great weekend.

 Pinkbike comments are much more than talking about bicycles, it's a learning experience, even health policy is the agenda. I love all of this.

 Is it just me or does it look like he stacked because kade edwards was sitting on the takeoff looking at the view when Lewis came in hot on a run?
