BRUTAL MTB CRASH GAVE ME CONCUSSION!

[@stillwaterdrinker]

Sam please don’t ever feel pressured to finish a video, nobody would blame you for stopping the video after that fall

[@h82fail]

I was questioning him getting back on and manual afterward, but I think that is just him and not for the show - obviously he was okay enough to do that crazy stair set going flat out later . Also stopping right after a crash can mess up confidence.

[@jzyyz]

@@h82fail Should have at least swapped out a new helmet though. Having a second slam like that on a compromised helmet after already getting concussed in the same day would have been bad news.

[@thegoingrate]

Wow, take it easy after that slam. We love you Sam and we all need you to be healthy. Painful to even watch but that smile you flash about one minute after taking that impact is impressive.

[@dgornowicz8417]

It’s just plain stupid and irresponsible to keep riding and exponentially more so to post to KZbin and celebrate that you ignored concussion symptoms

[@MrTeklar]

@@dgornowicz8417 Yeah any potential follow up hit on the head will leave you with permanent damage. That's the main reason of brain injury in sports: ignored concussions and follow up hits.

[@oreocarlton3343]

How did you crashed?

[@lvlupmtb]

Loving your content, talent and hard work. As a worker in the MTB industry, I feel like the way your crash was handled was dangerous considering your position. Concussions can be severe and have lasting negative effects. I totally understand it's part of the game to get hurt, but calling it a concussion and just getting on with the riding without explaination on your choice or aknowledging the risks of these injuries sends a dangerous message. Do we want kids and teenagers learning that hitting your head hard and keeping on riding without being checked out is the way to go? As I was saying I'm a huge fan, your hard work and talent are an inspiration. Hope you're well.

[@mattgies]

Absolutely this. This was the first time I've given one of his videos a thumbs down, because he's setting a very bad example. I understand he made bad decisions immediately after being concussed, because of the head injury itself, but to then edit and upload the video with zero disclaimers, is irresponsible.

[@rupertbollywood1190]

Concussion isn't a problem. He doesn't need his brain in life. No rocket scientist, this one. He just needs clicks.

[@trik0me]

Bro I know you are a pro and used to getting right back up and keep riding but if you get concussed you really need to hold off on the risky riding till you have recovered. If you don't rest up you could prolong your recovery time a lot longer; post-concussion syndrome sucks! Thanks for the epic content as always and heal quickly!

I was JUST watching that clip from that podcast with you and Olly Wilkins and that other guy where you talked about Traumatic Brain Injury derailing your contest career, like 12 hours before you uploaded this... Be kind to that dome and listen to your doctors. New sports science says it's best to ease back into safe activity within 48 hours of concussion but please don't feel the pressure to do anything risky for content anytime soon... Make sure TSG send you their best for your replacement helmet too (even if the shell isn't dented and the inside of the foam looks fine, the shell-side of the foam will be useless in another crash). I've had multiple concussions from snowboarding, skateboarding, American football, and biking, and I've seen too many people's lives ruined by it 💔 #helmetsarecool If you need an upload done, maybe a Q&A?
