| Wie ihr vielleicht alle inzwischen wisst und möglicherweise für kurze Zeit auf youtube sehen konntet, hat Jake Brown bei den X-Games den härtesten slam aller Zeiten einstecken müssen. Er fiel aus über 15 Metern Höhe direkt ins Flat der Megaramp auf Füße und Rücken und erlitt lediglich leichte innere Verletzungen und lief nach 20 Minuten aus eigener Kraft von der Rampe runter.
Was blkprjkt43 sagt leuchtet finde ich sehr ein: ESPN trägt die Verantwortung für die Athleten die bei den X-Games antreten, die ihr Leben und ihre Gesundheit aufs Spiel setzen.
Nach so einem Slam einen Sportler gehen zu lassen und ihm keine Nackenstütze und Trage zu geben ist absolut unverantwortlich und dumm. Auch ich werfe ESPN vor, hier nur kommerzielles Interesse zu haben.
Überlegen wir uns ob wir so etwas weiter unterstützen wollen............

The Jake Brown incident:
I spoke with a longtime friend who is a firefighter/EMT. With Jake's near tragic slam being a news item across the country he had already seen it numerous times and I asked his opinion on Jake walking off of the ramp within minutes of taking a hit like that. He told me that whoever was supervising the medical team at Staples Center on Thursday night should be terminated immediately. He went on to tell me that standard safety procedures would dictate the application of both a neck brace and backboard, and that once Jake was stabilized and immobilized he should have immediately been transported to a trauma center for a full evaluation. Now we all know that Jake is one tough customer, but you have to wonder about the motivations of any QUALIFIED medical team who would allow Jake to get up and walk off of the ramp. Of course you have to understand what a gigantic ratings coup this event was for ESPN, to broadcast live, globally, one of (if not)THE scariest slams ever witnessed and to be able to show Jake walking away, disoriented but smiling. In fact I am going to openly accuse ESPN, here and now, of putting Jake's life at risk for the sake of their own personal gain. I'm going to back this allegation with this question: If ESPN wasn't so self-serving in this moment, then why haven't their copyright lawyers demanded that all re-broadcast versions of Jake's slam be removed from youtube.com, pursuant to their own legal guidelines? Ah-Ha, you selfish fucks. I'm just glad that at this juncture, despite some serious internal injuries, Jake is slated to make a full recovery. It could have played out far differently and far worse, but thankfully it didn't. Unfortunately, in time, the memory of Jake's insane 720 will fade, but no one will ever forget the subsequent piledriver into the flat. Had it been Jason Ellis, he might have gone through the ramp, through the earth's crust, past the molten core and emerged in his homeland, from the sheer force of such an impact.
