He confirmed his main injury was “fractured C1 and C2 vertebrae in my neck,” which is now “stable thanks to a metal halo I’ll be wearing for the next three months”.
Memory
What said he has “no memory of the crash itself,” but was told he went into “Glen Helen 1 a bit hot, clipped the curb on the exit, got a wobble on, and ran out of road in Glen Helen 2 before hitting the rectocell.”
He thanked a spectator for “filling in the gaps”.
Whale said he is “so glad I had all the right gear on to help minimize the damage” and expressed gratitude to everyone who has reached out, noting “your support means so much.”
He added: “Here’s to a steady recovery!”
