Thanks for reporting this.
Alot of pushback/denial in the comments. Very similar to the reaction guys give when confronted with circumcision.
Few points:
Hockey is on flat ice.
We are going down, fast.
Hockey players never float above the ice more than a few feet (during a big, lifting hit). Last time I was at Whistler, I was getting off the ground over six feet (conservative).
Add the speed and height AND our hands are on the bars and things can go to the head/neck quick.
I didn't even mention mechanical failures--bars, stems, forks, head tube detachments.
Then you have miscalculations.
