Doesn't sound good, how is she now?Several years ago my wife had a bad ATV accident. Broke her neck. We were in ICU for 4 days. One day the Doc and I were talking and I said we both had helmets on. He said yeah I know. That's more than likely what broke her neck. If wearing a helmet you should always wear a neck brace as well. Her head slammed forward until the chin guard hit her chest. Multiplied the pressure on her neck and cause a fracture......
On another note, the nascar drivers have a tether/neck restraint on them to prevent that. I wonder if that is available for ATVs, etc? Jon
