I'd like to say yes, but you never know until you're dealing w/ it yourself.
I'd go buy a better helmet first, you were wearing one weren't you?

I agree, get back into riding[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img] You didn't say how your accident happened. If your accident occurred from a mistake[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-sad.gif[/img] Learn from it. Maybe adjust the way you ride to enjoy just being out and viewing the great outdoors[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img]

Yep, I would for sure. I've had many bad mishapes over the years and I always felt better once I was back riding. You always have to learn from your wrecks though, have more sense than courage.

I had a bad spill last december in a race, I remember thinking "oh sh-" and waking up in the emergency room. Concussion, bruised ribs, messed up wrist. The whole time i was more worried about the quad. Well long story short, against everyone's orders i raced the next weekend, because i knew if i didn't i might not ever again. My advice: is get back on the quad "when is safe" don't be stupid like me, and be careful, AND ALWAYS wear your helmet.

I shattered my femur, over 7 years ago. I spent 3 days in the hospital, after a 9 hours surgery. I couldn't wait to get to my quad and check it out, to see what parts I needed. My buddy was with me that day, and I made him spin it around to see if it still worked. When the doc said I was clear I hopped rigth on it and rode. I can't try that one hill climb, though and usually try to avoid looking at it.
