Adolf Silva Confirms Serious Spinal Injury After Rampage Finals Crash - Fundraiser Launched
I've been watching Rampage since the beginning and I'm starting to question its necessity, given the number of people who are hauled off the mountain each year in a helicopter, especially considering the small number of competitors. I'm all for freedom of choice, but maybe this event isn't something the world needs anymore. Life altering injuries without financial backing by a large sponsor or event holder isn't fair to an injured competitor.

YT Industries Begins Restructuring Under Self-Administration
@justanotherusername: You may be right, and time will tell. But it sounds like from the rabbling on the interwebs that their practices may have been shady.
Legality and ethics aren't always the same thing. It's unlikely one day the accountants showed up to the blissfully unaware YT headquarters, kicked open the door, shut down the production facility, unplugged the internet, and said, "Today we stop everything. No more new orders for bikes, and keep the money we've already received."

YT Industries Begins Restructuring Under Self-Administration
@justanotherusername: You're probably right, I'm unfamiliar with German corporate law, but companies aren't blind to what's happening inside them. Fronting that business is normal and taking payments for products despite the warning signs isn't a practice consumers should support.
The good news is they can still try to make whole the people (i.e. just bike people looking for a new bike) they've impacted.
