Wow - I can't believe the first hospital didn't give him a decent set of xrays if he a) looked like that and b) told them the story of how it happened.

Hope he gets well soon...

Sorry, but people get ****** up every day, every time i look someone is onto the newest drama. Safe bet is stay at home and watch all the wild and outgoing folk live a life whilst you love your key board!

yes this is true. Especially do this if you think yu might come to WA., it is very dangerous there. I heard QLD has some very nice keyboards and loads of safe wind.

I'm pretty sure Pineapple head from Sandgate/ Redcliffe area broke his neck a while back doing a trick and landing on it in shallow water.
