Injury
Danny Davis suffered blows to the pelvis and spine caused by the misuse of an All Terrain Vehicle. He was in contention for the 2010 Olympic Games in Vancouver. Davis was riding extremely well and had scored ahead of Shaun White. Davis was unaware of his number one qualifying spot for the 2010 Games that he went out and partied hard just knowing he had gotten a 1st place finish. While intoxicated he had driven an All Terrain Vehicle into an iron gate. His lumbar vertebrae two, three, and four were fused together and screws have been placed throughout his shattered pelvis.

Famous quotes containing the word injury:
“Prohibition will work great injury to the cause of temperance. It is a species of intemperance within itself, for it goes beyond the bounds of reason in that it attempts to control a man’s appetite by legislation, and makes a crime out of things that are not crimes. A Prohibition law strikes a blow at the very principles upon which our government was founded.”
—Abraham Lincoln (1809–1865)
“The legitimate powers of government extend to such acts only as are injurious to others. But it does me no injury for my neighbour to say there are twenty gods, or no god. It neither picks my pocket nor breaks my leg.”
—Thomas Jefferson (1743–1826)
“Men have come to speak of the revelation as somewhat long ago given and done, as if God were dead. The injury to faith throttles the preacher; and the goodliest of institutions becomes an uncertain and inarticulate voice.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
