About

On the afternoon of Friday, 7 September 2012, Ariel had a low speed motorbike accident. He probably had a whiplash injury to the neck. The disc between C3 & C4 vertebrae in the neck prolapsed (bulged) putting pressure on the spinal cord and the spinal cord was also stretched.  Surgery was done immediately to ease the problem, but there has been some damage to the spinal cord. Time will reveal the extent of Ariel’s injuries and his recovery.
