America’s Got Talent star breaks back on an ebike

[wings02]

Simon Cowell, star of America’s got talent broke his back while test driving an ebike at his house. The accident took place in the
“ courtyard” of his house. They are preparing him for surgery. No other details. I’m not a fan of Simon Cowell but it is unfortunate that this happened. This should reinforce the need to wear a helmet and don’t take for granted the need to exercise safety when riding an ebike. They are not toys!

I'd imagine people fall off bikes a million times the world over, but when it happens to a celebrity it has to make the news headlines...

Reinforce the need for a helmet? They protect against broken backs? Don't get me wrong, I wear a MIPS helmet on every ride. But a spinal fracture is much different than a skull fracture or concussion.
