Hell, I wouldn't doubt that. That crash Christian Vande Velde was in where he broke three verterbrae, his pelvis and I think his collarbone, was horrific. I wonder, though, if bone loss had something to do with how much he broke. It isn't as if he hasn't fallen at speed before.

He was back on the bike in a month.
