It sounds like they have him in a medically induced coma for back injuries, hang in there Jim! You've got to be one tough S.O.B. to have hung with Pastrana all these years. Get well and take it easy for cripes sake! You guys aren't getting any younger.

Update from the Nitro Circus site. on 7/2


As many of you have heard our Nitro brother Jim DeChamp was injured while attempting a car stunt for our upcoming Nitro Circus movie. Jim was immediately taken to the hospital where he has been treated for head and back trama. Because Jim was knocked unconsious for several minutes our biggest concern was serious head trama. Head scans and other tests are all very encouraging.

The EMTs put Jim into a medically induced coma to prevent swelling of the brain. He was then transferred by helicopter to an excellent trama hospital in Utah. The first 24 hours were stressful as the doctors were assessing the gravity of the injuries. We are very happy to report that Jim should make a full recovery. Although he has been heavily medicated, Jim is awake and conscious.
He has done very well with memory and cognitive tests. In fact, Jim's sense of humor is very much unchanged. Nonetheless, Jim will definitely be out of action for a while as he banged himself up pretty good. X-Rays indicated that he fractured a couple vertebra in his back.
He has full movement of all limbs and there is NO paralysis.s. He had surgery yesterday to get things fixed. Everything went exactly as planned by a very qualified surgical team. Jim actually walked around a bit today as part of physical therapy. All in all, we care for all of our Nitro family very much. We are very thankful that Jim is doing so well. He is a very strong and determined individual. We thank everybody who has reached out with concern. We will try to keep you updated with his progress.
