Human-readable text

BMX Legend Harry Leary’s friends and family believe that he had Chronic Traumatic Encephalopathy (CTE) from the many head injuries he received as a child and adult. One result was Harry pushing away the people that he loved.

"CTE, which is brought on by repeated severe head impacts, has been associated with impulse control problems, depression, and progressive dementia. Athletes in full-contact sports such as football and hockey are believed to have a much higher risk of developing CTE. Barring a brain autopsy, it’s impossible to know whether Mirra suffered from CTE—but his death, along with an increasing awareness of the condition, has led many cyclists to wonder, and worry: Are they at risk of developing CTE?"

"For cyclists concerned about incurring a concussion, certain precautionary measures can greatly assist in properly diagnosing and treating the injury. (This is of special importance for those at a higher risk of incurring a head trauma—for example, racers, freestyle riders, or cyclists who’ve previously had a concussion,) The sport’s governing body, USA Cycling, recommends all racers have the SCAT2 or ImPACT cognitive baseline tests administered by a medical professional prior to the racing season. By determining an athlete’s baseline cognitive function prior to incurring a head injury, doctors can better diagnose a concussion, and make sure the cyclist is fully recovered prior to resuming riding."

"As for avoiding a concussion in the first place, Broglio says that while traditional bike helmets generally do a good job of protecting our skulls, they do little to lessen the rotational forces in a crash that are responsible for brain injuries. A number of helmet makers now include special liners, like the MIPS Brain Protection System, that claim to lessen the impact of rotational forces in a crash and subsequently reduce the potential of suffering a concussion."
