Where are all the people who said Bubba was just laying still because that was protocol in those situations? Those assumptions were more ridiculous than 4thGear's.
I dont see why so many have taken offense to 4thGear's assumption that Bubba was out cold. It's about the weirdest thing to get all worked up over. That said, I dont know the backstory of 4thGearPinned.
Holy hell man let it go!

As I said, I dont know 4thGear's backstory. So feel free to fill me in. All Ive seen are his posts in the 2 threads Ive read where he's been involved in the discussion. Nothing he said seemed crazy to me but Im only going off of what I read on this topic of concussions, not any past issues the mob has had with him.
EddieC posts on this board. I'd love to know his thoughts on the situation.
It's happened twice to me and both times I didnt know what hit me until long after. Very scary stuff. Im fairly confident that we are only touching the tip of the iceberg in what we know about brain trauma and it doesnt really serve certain industries best interest for the layers of the onion to get peeled back on this topic. One day we will look back at this era and wonder how society couldve been so dumb.
His company is doing the best they can with the budget they got. And quite frankly, as one person on this forum put it, we are in the MS-DOS era of understanding brain trauma. I dont know 4thGear's overzealous motives but on face value it would seem he just wants to see the sport err on the side of extreme caution. My bet is that I think in about 25 years society will look back and wish we had.
In the end, everyone is accountable to themselves and James gotta do what James gotta do....I hope he is being true to himself and racing for the right reasons.
Edit: Didn't see the post above mirroring what I just said.

James is a stand up guy.
Bring on Round 2!
You don't have to justify yourself and your decisions to any of the idiots on this board. If they don't like it, go pound sand and get another participation award.
Oh and I say 4thGearPinned is a finance guy at the hospital.
You can't stop embarrassing yourself, can you 4thGearPinned?
We can have 2 scenario's ..
JS is out cold for 2 mins or so( we are told) because he has a low threshold to getting knocked out.. so surely he needs to be benched to allow recovery , but more importantly , to minimise the risk of a repeat injury , which all doctors agree is the biggest issue .
OR
JS is an animal , who has a high resistance , but was still out cold for 2 mins.. all of the other things above apply.
Its not about passing a test . Its about allowing recovery, while limiting the chances of re-injury.
Of course 17 races in 18 weeks doesnt sit well with benching riders.
Here are the UK rules.
