Reports say he was very near death like a minute or two.

I saw a clip of his first interveiw on Sportsecenter this morning. He looked the same as before the accident and there was no visual signs of the accident, no scars that I could see.

He said the paramedics caught a blood vessel that was leaking blood into his stomach and would have killed him. He also didn't rule out getting back on the bike, although he did say he would wear a helmet. He also said he does wear a helmet, but forogt it the day of the accident. Right.

So, is he brave for hopping back on the bike?

Or is he stupid??

I vote stupid. Potentially giving up your dream....robbing your family fans....removing funds from your wife/kids (future)...messing with your potential in something you've dreamed of forever....Stupid. you can find a cool helmet, or find a car that you'll feel cool in. If you like bikes better, race bikes for a living....

At least he showed up for camp throwing the ball. Big step for him.
