While Harry Leary can be thought of doing many wonderful things, he did have his demons. Friends and family did not test Harry for CTE, they just didn’t think about it at the time. He crashed many times and “stuck his head into the ground a few times pretty hard” - some of his helmets were nearly split in half. Harry also had a lot of concussions as a kid, when he would ride without a helmet.

"Neuropathologists from the U.S. and Canada confirmed that Mirra suffered from Chronic Traumatic Encephalopathy (CTE), a neurodegenerative disease that can lead to depression, memory loss and dementia, ESPN Magazine reported. The disease manifests itself when people suffer frequent blows to the head, and has shown itself in the brains of dozens of football players. The NFL just recently admitted that there is a connection between football injuries and CTE."

"It validates what we have been thinking about brain injuries in boxers and football players," Dr. Lili-Naz Hazrati, a University of Toronto neuropathologist who helped diagnose Mirra's CTE, told ESPN Magazine. "The key is brain injury. Regardless of how you get it, through BMX or hockey, you are at risk for this." - from https://www.huffpost.com/entry/dave-mirra-cte-brain-injury_n_574464e0e4b0613b512b3c0d
