    This is from Jakes' GF Nicole...

    Hello everyone, Jacob wanted me to give you guys an update. He has suffered a concussion, a mild pneumothorax in his left lung, split open his chin pretty good, a fractured Adam's apple, bruised vocal chords and a blood clot in his throat, and to end the list a broken right humerus. He had a successful surgery yesterday morning where they plated his arm. Thank you so much for all the love and support, he's having a difficult time talking so he wanted to let everyone know if you have called or text he will get back to you when he's feeling a bit better. Hopefully be out of the hospital within a couple days. -Nicole

    That arm break looks bad but bones will heal ... Heal up Jake and we'll see you in the outdoors maybe ...

    fractured adam's apple - that sounds painful, I bet swallowing is awful
    he must be on some serious pain pills

    I watched the video again, he was not wearing a neck brace, when he was struck from behind it looks like his neck hit the handlebars with major force, I suspect that is how he fractured his adam's apple, and bruised his vocal cords, how he didn't end up with a major neck/spinal cord injury is beyond me
