First time the vid has been posted to my knowledge. A lot of us have seen it, especially those of us that get torrents of TG, but I'm sure a lot have not.

Here is a little more that they cut out.

Are you kidding?

The Hamster skidded on his head at over 200 MPH! He was in a coma for weeks. How much worse does it need to be before it is "that bad"?

sorry, relatively speaking it didn't "look" that bad compared to the alternative, my volume was on mute so my judgement was on the video alone not the details

now if he had barrel-rolled at that speed a coma might seem rather mild as compared to being 6 ft under ...

Correct, but he still walked away.
He was even arguing with the EMT's as they strapped him to the gurney and loaded him in the ambulance.

Traumatic brain injuries can be very odd.
