I definitely see your point, but I wonder how many professional snowboarders are even able to get insurance. I wonder how many insurance companies willingly insure athletes that are not making insane bucks. <br /><br />I agree with Jim, what's done is done. Not every pro rider has insurance and he needs help. I can afford to help out because if I didn't have insurance and i needed it, I'd appreciate it. It's entirely up to you to help out and donate.

But what's done is done and Cody needs help. I put up a few bucks but he's still going to be in the hole for a lot more and it'll be a painful lesson. At the same time, a pro snowboarder may not be insurable without exorbitant premiums and unlike other pro sports, snowboarding isn't a lucrative career (except for Shaun White probably). devin is right.

I'm glad he's ok, because i've had my fair share of injuries, but to ask other people to pay for someone else's clear lack of judgement is absurd. <br /><br />If I lost health insurance even for a day I would stop riding until it was resolved. I'm still paying my $2500 out of pocket max for my own injury, WITH insurance!

Cody, heal fast amigo. That Superpark show was pretty damn silly, here was what the organizers were thinking: "Wouldn't it be cool if we built mini-mountains on the mountains? Some of the snowboarders might accidentally fly off them, and then maybe they would fly into outer space. Wouldn't that be sweet?" Kudos for posting Shay. Cody, heal fast amigo.

I put up a few bucks towards his speedy recovery, I'll just have to wait a lil bit longer for sour gummy cherry coke bottles. :-D Don’t know Cody but I hope he gets better soon.
