    I think this group acts as a kind of unofficial accident reporting, I wanted to share this accident.

    What I have heard is that the rower tried to pass a very low bridge, and sat up too early, bumping into the bridge with his neck. Result: Spinal cord injury. No control or feeling from shoulders down.

    Wow

    Sad to hear - hope they make a recovery.
