00:00According to musculoskeletal medicine expert Dr. Isagani Leal, it is possible for a cyclist to have an injury in this situation.
00:13The fall was caused by his glutes or his chest.
00:19In our whole body, the glutes are the thickest muscle.
00:23So if the first one to fall is the road, we are safer.
00:28It's a good thing that the cyclist is wearing a helmet before he falls.
00:32But his hands should be bent when he falls.
00:36If his hands are bent, there is a tendency that he can have a fracture in his hands.
00:44San Mateo Resort is a favorite destination for cyclists.
00:51It is called the Mountain Biking Capital of the Philippines.
00:55Because of the slope and the curve of this bike trail.
01:03But one of the curves here,
01:06was stolen by an accident.
01:12Some cyclists even fall into a curve or what is called an overshoot.
01:18Because the curve here is different.
01:22It's sudden.
01:24You need to have a good frame.
01:27Sturdy and good.
01:30You can also see a cyclist who fell here because of the speed of the fall.
01:35If he fell, he went around in the air and he fell down while sitting,
01:40the chance of having a severe injury is lesser.
01:44But if he hit his head first,
01:48he is wearing a helmet,
01:49it can minimize the brain concussion or brain hemorrhage.
01:58This cyclist also had an overshoot near a curve.
02:06When he did not turn around immediately.
02:08Immediately.
02:10And he hit a tree.
02:14The u-turn was too sharp,
02:18so he did not give his handlebar properly.
02:24First, the cyclist's shoulder hit the tree,
02:27until he sat on the road when he fell.
02:32If the impact is that strong and his shoulder hit,
02:35what he can injure is a clavicular fracture or rotator cuff tear.
02:41It's good because his head did not hit the tree.
02:44Because if his head hit the tree,
02:47the chance of having a severe concussion is high.
02:53Another cyclist in the video,
02:55you will notice that he put his foot on the road and suddenly,
02:59he fell.
03:00Until he straightened up,
03:03slid down and fell.
03:06The bike overshoot,
03:08his fall was on the side,
03:10his left shoulder hit first.
03:12So, the possible injury is a clavicular fracture on the shoulder.
03:17Another cyclist did not ride a bicycle,
03:21but he got stuck on the road.
03:25There is a possibility that he will not be able to control his foot.
03:30First, he will have a knee injury,
03:33ACL,
03:35posterior cross-sheet ligament,
03:37or ACL, anterior cross-sheet ligament tear of his knee.
03:40Second, he may develop a tibia fracture.
03:45The cyclist rode his bike backwards while he was going down the curve.
03:50These stunts are dangerous according to the expert.
03:55There is a high chance of injury.
03:58It is dangerous because at first, he will not be able to see what's in front of him,
04:03his head, shoulders, spine.
04:06There are a lot of things that he may not know how to avoid.
04:09According to the expert,
04:11the cyclist should check his bike before riding on the road.
04:14He should also complete his safety gear.
04:17Make sure that your helmet is standard.
04:19On your elbow, on your knee, you should complete your gears.
04:23He should wear a miniskirt,
04:26wear shoes,
04:28and wear a helmet.
04:30According to the road signs,
04:33the curves,
04:35the down and up roads,
04:37you should know where to watch out.
04:42If you want to be fit and healthy,
04:45let's go for a ride.
04:48But be careful on the road
04:50to avoid accidents.
04:52Thank you very much.
