It is troubling to me as well as her parents. She is over 18 so legally they can't stop her. They probably feel it is best to at least have some control and be with her. I don't think I would want my son to ride again if something like that happened to him, but I also know I can't stop him. Her injuries, along with two other people he knows and the death of Ltlmac70's son Superfly have made him seriously question his favorite sport. I have no idea if he will race again, he himself was hurt last spring and took the summer off, bought some land and real life has intervened.

food4thought, as a nurse, I think I would tell her to get off and stay off instead of "ride on". But, I also understand the desire to feel alive by doing what is important to a person.
