Here’s a short interview with Heinz Kinigadner over at MotocrossMX1.com. After his son was paralyzed in a racing accident in 2003, Kinigadner partnered with Red Bull founder Dietrich Mateschitz to form the Wings for Life foundation.
Wings for Life is the dedicated to funding pure research in the area of spinal cord injuries and is one of the few foundations focused on curing this devastating type of injury. The development of neck supports like the Leatt Brace and the new alpinestars Bionic Neck Support will go a long way to preventing serious neck injuries, but nothing can completely eliminate the risk. The only answer is to find a way to heal the spinal cord. Kudos to Kinigadner for taking this effort forward.
