An unfortunate crash has put American snowboarder Kevin Pearce in the hospital at the University of Utah. While preparing for Olympic qualifying events next week, Kevin took a bad fall and received a severe traumatic brain injury even though he was wearing a helmet (which goes to show how bad an accident this was and should give pause to the need to always wear appropriate safety gear). Our prayers are with Kevin for a speedy and full recovery but it will probably be a long process. Brain injuries are some of the most difficult injuries to recover from since the brain is so complex and there are so many factors in the recovery process.
