****As for the ‘assume the risks or don’t bike’ that only goes so far. When one is looking at a lifetime of medical and living expenses and no way to pay them, there aren’t many options are there? Assuming the risk does not mean ‘able to pay the bills’.

Im not buying that. We all do things in life and realize how bad it could be. think of it, we have all taken small jump or slid out in a turn and crashed. then said… Oh wow. that could have been worse than just a scrape. You have to think of the same thing when taking on big nasty wet trail. If you don’t, you must not be thinking about what you are doing. Granted we may not think about life without legs, but its not the fault of the resort you rode past your limits. This is the biggest problem with society… “its not my fault” is the common theme. Find someone else to blame. Oh and by the way society, there are plenty of paraplegics in the work force…
sorry for your condition.
