Au contrair. You ended up in the hospital with no doubt very painful injuries! Your off is one of my worst nightmares.
A good friend of mine mine had a crash like yours and ended up breaking his neck and having a brain bleed. He was advised to give up the sport based on advice of his neurosurgeon and now is a exclusive runner, but really misses it.
