This is a sportsman, who has signed a contract to race for a couple of clubs, who no doubt is getting paid a decent wage, being injured, stops that.

Yeah, I get that bit,,, but questioning wether he should be doing it or not so close to the start of the season, I don't get.

Its not that often we have lots of snow in March tho.

Pretty much the only rider that can get this kind of injury. Should he be doing that this close to the start of the season?

he is just a young lad , enjoying the snow while he can, cos one day the snow will not be here .

people break their backs SNEEZING. so now its dangerous to sneeze,, cough , maybe even fart .

I just don’t see why you’d take a risk so close to the start of the season that’s all. You’ve trained hard during the winter, and you then do something you could avoid, and get injured. Maybe just me then

No different than going MotoX'ing before the start of the season (like many speedway riders do), except you wouldn't think an injury could occur sledging.  It's just a freak accident.

OK,,, maybe he should've been wearing his body armour.

anyways, I hope he makes a full recovery and is back on track soon.

With the "Beast From The East" causing so much havoc, even a walk down the street & slipping on ice could be hazardous.

I agree with Panthers89.

He is a professional sportsman who has contracts in place and with the season just around the corner he shouldn't be doing these type of things. Needs to grow up and fast imo.

Been nothing but a pain for Leicester and Sheffield in the off season imo. Retiring and now this.

Moto X is fitness and getting your body familiar with a bike again, I agree it’s a freak accident but could have been avoided

got to agree with you deffo going by his antics.didnt he also injure himself carrying some washing down the stairs? do feel for the lad but seems to be a bit off the cuff.lets just hope that it is the 6 to 8 weeks that has been mentioned or i do fear for our season a little.

If you was going to lay money on one rider injuring himself in this way, you'd of put it on Josh Bates.

 

That said how many thousands of youngsters have been messing about on sledges this week?

 

I remember messing about with ice skates in 1963 which was a much worse spell than this current bad one!
