"Top New Zealand Mountain Biker" Breaks Her Neck!
So much for mountain biking promoting health! Such BS....
Mike http://www.radionz.co.nz/news/latest...ountain_biker: Near-miss for top NZ mountain biker Posted at 3:06pm on 30 Jan 2007 Top New Zealand mountain biker Vanessa Quin escaped being paralysed after breaking her neck in a fall during the national championships in Nelson at the weekend. It is the second time in five years that Quin has broken a bone in her neck - she will be in a brace for up to 10 weeks. She says she is feeling very lucky and is determined to get back on a bike again soon. Quin, 30, also broke an arm in a World Cup race in Spain and needed further surgery after the Rotorua world championships in August. === I am working on creating wildlife habitat that is off-limits to humans ("pure habitat"). Want to help? (I spent the previous 8 years fighting auto dependence and road construction.) Please don't put a cell phone next to any part of your body that you are fond of! http://home.pacbell.net/mjvande |
