Time to Ban Jumps at Soapbox Races?
A competitor has suffered a fractured vertebrae at the Billericay Soapbox Derby this weekend as a result of landing heavily from a ramp on the course.
"A VOLUNTEER who fractured his back during a soap box derby is hoping others can support him while he is signed off from work.
Billericay Round Table member, Jim Wroe, suffered a fractured vertebrae after a crash at the Billericay Soapbox Derby on Bank Holiday Monday.
Jim will now be in a full body brace for up to two months, and is unable to work – but fortunately there are no signs of permanent nerve damage. The dedicated volunteer works supporting vulnerable young people, but as a result will not receive sick pay, leading to concerns how he will pay his bills and mortgage in the interim.
The accident happened after Jim was racing in the round table’s Round Table Trojan Rabbit, and he landed heavily following a jump."
