I ruptured my spleen and needed an emergency splenectomy about 6 years ago. The surgeon gave me about 30 mins to live before I would bleed out at one point. Was sessioning a large table jump and tried to whip the opposite way but didn't get the rear end around.
Since then I've had 2 children and, whilst I still love riding, it has changed my perspective on injury massively. I'm nowhere near as reckless as my younger days and actually appreciate the time on the bike more as a result.
