Big Crash on Area 51

This is my daughter, Alannah, doing the Area 51 drop at Wonderland in Bella Vista, AR. Scary moment as a dad. Knocked her out cold for over a minute and we spent the next 24 hours in the hospital with a brain bleed. Thankfully, no broken bones. Incredibly grateful for BVFD who were on the scene in less than 10 minutes, and for our friends who hauled our bikes out for us. #fridayfails

 What an awful experience. I'm sorry you went through that, and I'm glad she'd doing fine. Her form looked fine. Do you think the landing is shaped wrong or she needed more speed, or something else?

 Wishing your daughter a speedy recovery. This looks insane, and I re-watched a few times now, I can't imagine the thoughts.

 It was scary AF! By the time I got to her, she was out cold and having a seizure. She's doing fine now and started school this morning, and is dying to get back on her bike.

 @rmtrailhawk: just watched it again, I hate watching this hahaha. Glad she recovered and still wants to get back on the bike!
