Tony Hawk Suffers “Pelvic Vertical Shear Injury”

Okay – I’m a little late on this but I caught on Tony Hawk’s twitter yesterday the fact that he was in hospital. A little later he tweeted that he was suffering a ‘pelvic vertical shear injury and a hematoma’ as a result of a fall at a demo for Disney in Anaheim. He was going for a tailbone five when his “foot was a little off, sent me into b/s revert (chicken-neck) to flat …” There’s a video of the fall above – doesn’t look that gnarly but when you know the injuries it caused, it makes you wince a little. Get better TH!
