Over the weekend Indy racer Dan Wheldon died in a horrific car crash at Las Vegas Motor Speedway that will be remembered as one the most terrible racing tragedies in recent memory.

Fellow racers and fans were shocked and saddened by Wheldons’ untimely death. His death is reminiscent of the passing of another famous racer, Dale Earnhardt, who died during a NASCAR race in 2001.

An autopsy performed on Weldon showed that he died from head injuries(blunt force trauma)when his vehicle went airborne ejecting the cockpit into the crash fence.

After the tragedy, there has been intense debate on whether the spectacular crash in Las Vegas could have been averted. NASCAR champ Jimmy Johnson says that Indy cars should not be racing on ovals. ” I wouldn’t run them on ovals. There’s just no need to. Those cars are fantastic for street circuits, for road courses, etc.”said Johnson.

There is no doubt that Indy Car and NASCAR will make significant improvements on vehicles and equipment to further reduce the risk of serious injury or death. Wheldon’s death serves as a chilling reminder just how dangerous race car driving is. Our hearts and prayers go out to Dan Wheldon’s family and friends.

Cycling is both a serious sport and leisure activity that people from around the world enjoy.  Hitting a trail on a sunny weekend afternoon is a great way to relieve stress and burn calories, but with any physical activity comes the risk of injury.

Injuries to the head, knees, lower back, and genitals, are common injuries that are attributed to handle bars and bike seats. According to PubMed over 500,000 emergency room visits each year pertain to bicycle related injuries.

Over the weekend Colorado Rockies rookie pitcher Juan Nicasio was hit in the head with a line drive during a game against the Washington Nationals. The 24 year old pitcher was hospitalized after suffering  a C1 vertebrae fracture.

The incident is a grim example of how dangerous baseball can be.  Fans don’t realize the risk players take when they go out on the field every single game. This isn’t the first or last time a player will get hit with a line drive or fastball. It’s just the nature of the game. This incident should serve as a reminder of why it’s important to use quality equipment and cushioning systems to protect players not just in baseball but in other sports.

In Mr. Nicasio’s case it would have been difficult for any sort of equipment to have protected him since pitchers don’t wear helmets. That could change after Friday’s accident.  Using the MitiGator cushioning system on baseball equipment such as helmets would reduce the chance of a player receiving a serious injury like the one Juan Nicasio received Friday. Hitter’s are also exposed to the dangers of balls coming at them at 90 plus miles an hour.

A hit to the head can lead to serious injury, making it essential that the helmet absorb most of the impact protecting the player’s head in the process. Seas Group hopes that Mr. Micasio makes a speedy recover and that he may be back on the field in the not so distant future.
