FSU Player Seriously Injured (Skydiving)

[G8tr]

Stephen Spradling. Sounds like he probably won't ever play ball again, but should be able to walk again. Good luck to him in his recovery.

Why when I clink on yahoo links are the stories not there?

I don't know. Story came up for me.

Here's hoping for a good recovery for Mr. Spradling. Awful accident. Prayers for him sent.

Hope he recovers soon..

On the other hand... note to self, never skydive.

Horrible story. Why people feel the need to defy gravity is beyond me. Prayers and well wishes go out to everyone involved. Sad to hear his playing days are over.

Poor kid. Awful. I hope he can walk soon. Many times people can overcome these severe injuries and surprise eveyone with their recovery. Let's hope he's one of them. He is very fortunate to be alive. Go Nole. I jumped about six times. I had to pull a reserve once. That was that...Once in Miami, couple-few times in Palatka, the rest out here in Cali...watching base-jumping even gets me nervous nowadays.

If he had a similar hip break to me and it sounds like he might have (I also had plates and screws from a high impact event), he will walk and be able to do most things low impact without much of a problem, but he won't play.
Sad but it sounds like he might have saved two lives with his actions so I hope he defies the odds.
