Its a calculated risk and you may not do anything wrong to be injured.
I certainly don't support your motorbike addiction Listen to your Misses or at least treat her to a life insurance package so she can look after you when your a vegetable.There`s a harsh reality to riding bikes and some of the consequences are. (without-out posting anything graphic)
Cervical (neck) injuries usually result in quadriplegia;
C1 to C4 injuries may require a ventilator for the person to breathe;
C5 injuries often result in shoulder and bicep control, but no control at the wrists or hands;
C6 injuries generally yield wrist control, but no hand function;
C7 and T1 injuries can straighten their arms but still may have dexterity problems with the hand and fingers;
Thoracic level injuries and below result in paraplegia, with the hands not affected;
T2 to T8 injuries have control of their hands, but poor trunk control as the result of lack of abdominal muscle control;
T9 to T12 injuries allow good trunk control and good abdominal muscle control. Sitting balance is very good;
Lumbar and Sacral injuries yield decreasing control of the hip flexors and legs.
Besides a loss of sensation or motor functioning, individuals with SCI also experience other changes. For example;
Incontinence of the bowel and bladder;
Erectile dysfunction;
Fertility may be affected in SCI men;
Wide and rapid fluctuations in body temperature;
Inability to sweat below the level of injury;
Low blood pressure;
Chronic pain.
Very high injuries (C1, C2, C3) can result in a loss of many involuntary functions. For example;
the ability to breathe (may require breathing aids such as mechanical ventilators or diaphragmatic pacemakers);
inability to regulate blood pressure effectively.
