Kevin Pearce – Snowboarding Injury
Injury is tough and a certainty in ‘Action Sports’. Severe neurological injuries are the most unfortunate but occur none the less. Even with the use of helmets, there is still a risk of Spinal Cord and Brain Injuries. Pearce’s case is one example of an unfortunate injury in snowboarding.
Kevin hit his head while practicing at Park City in the pipe, reportedly while doing a double cork. He has suffered a Brain Injury of which the long term effects are not known. He has been showing improvements since the accident on Dec. 31st, and his family has been providing updates on a Facebook Fan Page. If you would like to help Kevin, leave a message on the fan page. You will be giving support to his family who are most influential in his recovery during his early stages.
He has been making very good progress. I hope his outcome is good and continues on the track he is currently on. We wish for the best… may his youth lead him to a speedy recovery!
