Feature Story: A Life Shattered by Brain Injury - Lorraine Truong
TBI's are bad news Has EWS now got a concussion protocol pulling riders? Last time I posted on this i believe the response was they were looking at it It's very sad. It's poorly understood. It has long term impacts; Mira and CTE And the one thing that really bugs the s$$t out of me is the continued support of videos on Mondays of athletes banging heads and no helmet. Kids watch them Where is the editorial policy on this? Yes adults can choose to knock themselves out. I don't care if they do, but pinkbike has some responsibity for editorial content and recognising kids watch them and they can not make informed decisions leaves them exposed to materials that they think may be really impressive (dropping a flight of stairs and banging their head) but they are not in a position to understand the consequences of it. This is a sad story. I hope in time Lorraine improves but there is a public health aspect to this that should extend beyond writing an article about someone that has had a serious (perhaps preventable) injury

7mesh Revelation Jacket V2 - Review
Guarantee is nothing on arc teryx I have a couple of alpha SV's which are pretty bomb proof The material holding the draw cords had started to fray. I dropped it off in a store in Switzerland. 2 months later it was returned to me as good as new for free. I think it was 7 years old

'Not Guilty' Plea in Spectator Death Case
@Ron-C: it is not a law suit. It is a criminal trial. His views would play no part in the CPS decision to go to trial

@raph11: suggesting that wearing a helmet or not is not a moralistic judgement Suggesting someone not cheat on their partner. Thats a moralistic judgement Suggesting someone wear a helmet is more - if you want to categorize it - a health anf safety judgement but i was just thinking that if you have knocked yourself out on film, its unlikely to have been the first time People who suffer concussions or sub concussive injuries are demonstrated to have impaired judgement and increased likelihood of suffering a further injury so, no, not moral, just judging peoples decisions for their health I do not care if he knocks himself out. A total lack of an editorial policy however is worth discussing Do you think if someone dies at rampage or hardline film of it should go up on the front page?

@NYShred: if they were on my lawn without permission i'd start yelling Calling someone an idiot that knocked themselves out in the first 30 seconds does not negate the good intentions just merely points out the bleedin obvious........

Pinkbike is one of the biggest mtb sites It has readers of every demographic including kids It baffles me that it has no editorial policy on not showing people riding without helmets Forne is out cold. Its not cool. Its not big. Its not clever. He is a fucking idiot. He is free to ride without a helmet. PB should not be through the lack of a editorial policy promoting safety be endorsing it. Every week their are examples of idiots riding without. Perhaps for every video where someone is knocked out cold you could put up a video of someone with a TBI
