Somebody pointed out on another board that Petrino mentioned one of the doctors was there who performed his "neck surgery last year".
Does anybody remember anything at all about a neck surgery?
Petrino is a private dude, and some of the media here dislikes him for it.

I just saw the PC video I did not know he had a brace on. He looks like he is very lucky. I am thinking he may not give up the bikes but may give up riding solo now.

I was curious about that too.
Another thing I was wondering...it looks like he landed on his face. If he cracked C-2 b/c his chin touched his chest...would a helmet possibly make it worse? They save the brain but don't do much for your neck. The weight of a helmet would definitely put more stress on the neck. I just wonder if that extra weight could have caused the vertebra to completely fail. Scary as frick.
Edit: Since I posted the above I looked it up and there actually is an argument about helmet weight and neck injuries.
