my most recent injury was my upper quad.y aches or pains, anything new that showed up? >> her athletic trainer says lindsey's injuries are typical for kids who are serious dancers. >> there can be a lot of impact, particularly feet. that's a very big one. but it works up the chain. everything connects through, so as the feet are affected, it can work its way into the shins, the knees, the hips. >> and those injuries are mounting up. researchers at nationwide children's hospital studied dance injuries. >> in 2007 alone, over 8,000 children and teens were treated for a dance-related injury. that's about 23 children every day or almost an injury an hour. >> even more worrisome is the fact that these kinds of injuries have been increasing over the years. why the increase? it could be that young dancers are pushing themselves harder than ever. >> i practice basically every day for an hour at least. usually an hour and a half is our practice times on mondays and thursdays, and then i practice two hours usually on the weekends. >>

ernal is it all tissue injuries, soft tissue injuries?he also strangled her. >> do we have any doctors that will say these are serious injuries? in state court, that is the tough part, when we are talking about soft tissue injuries when you don't have damage to the spleen, internal injuries, or cuts that required stitches. concussions can be serious injury. >> the local prosecutor called this a misdemeanor assault. >> ok. no. >> yes. >> i would push felony charges probably for kidnapping. a mag light is a deadly weapon if it was a mag light, assault with a deadly weapon. it is all about getting a medical doctor to say, yes, this is serious injury. is it serious bodily injury? sure. is it attracted pain-and- suffering? the shia suffered? i think so. even if we succeed on all levels, what i'm telling you is that you may not be satisfied with the amount of time that they're going to get at the state level. >> if you was convicted only of misdemeanor assault on a female, even with doing this, what would he be looking at as far as time? >> the

number one injury, they're re-injured and the number two injury, they're not getting fair treatment in some cases by the police department and that's what we're here to talk about. thank you chief sir. i heard the police department commit to the vision zero and we look forward to working with you. how do we get there? this is a great group of supporters and we're happen to have c cd c and central collaborative and china town trips and tenderloin housing groups on board. i'm going to jump to the three recommendations. none of these will be surprises to the chief because we've been talking to him about about these. the area that i think we're seeing the most progress is improving bicycle awareness. there is a lack of awareness. we're hearing stories where officers are telling us adults, you shouldn't be on the street. you should be biking on the sidewalk. that's illegal. adult bicyclist shouldn't ride on the sidewalk, yet i hear those instances. we're hearing things for whatever reason the law around biking and i probably would guess around pedestrian issues haven't reached everyone and

rocks and boulders can cause grievous injuries. schumacher's injury was a stark reminder of that, but many still ski outside of the marked areas. there are many other challenges. testing your limits has become part of the winter sports experience. better know my own personal abilities so i take a speed test. the run is short and not too steep, yet i reach 89 kilometers an hour. the ski instructor has a new people. allays the legs have to do of the work. do not stand straight as a ramrod. the legs have to do the work, so let them. how fast do today's beginners learn? in the old days, a ski vacation lasted up to two weeks. now most folks seem to be here for just a long weekend like lar s, a plumber from colon. he has to keep reminding him it is all in the legs. he says people learn faster with all of the good equipment and perfect slopes. earlier, it took a while to teach people to ski. now it goes very quickly. at midday, the weather changes. visibility deteriorates. skiers are getting tired and the accidents multiply. the rescue sq

he suffered countless head injuries. then, instead of the nfl, he became a professional wrestler. >> he ends up with the nickname chris harvard, the persona of this sort of snobbish wrestler who's smarter than all the fans. >> you people should be grateful to have someone of my intelligence in your presence. >> narrator: for chris harvard, the performance often ended with a blow to the head. >> chris harvard landed on his head quite a bit. you know, as much as wrestling is performance, there's a very, very small margin of error. and especially when you're learning the thing, you fall on your head a lot. >> narrator: nowinski began to have violent nightmares and migraine headaches. >> and i said, "there's something really wrong with me." and the headache didn't go away for five years. >> narrator: brain trauma became an obsession. >> what motivated me every day was the fact that my head was killing me and i knew that i felt awful and i knew that i wasn't the only person, but i was a person in a position to make a differen

neither man shows any sign of injury. victor sanchez will require medical attention. >> his obvious injuries are a black eye and a cut on the back of his head. sergeant tucker now takes over from sert in finding out what happened. >> i saw you swinging at him. you both had him cornered. you want to stand there and lie to me some more? >> right, there was a lock down for nothing. what did you hit him with? >> my hand. >> who had the thing that cut the back of his head open? >>. >> oh, i don't know about that. >> right. >> as tucker interrogates, sanchez undergoes his medical evaluation where an entirely new injury is discovered. >> who threw the water on him 1234. >> i don't know about that. >> who threw the water on him? >> sir, with all-due respect, none of those injuries -- >> that wasn't fresh. who threw the water on him? >> that wasn't me. >> while hernandez and lomez acknowledge fighting with sanchez, they insist some of the other injuries were from a fight two days earlier. so sergeant tucker calls the officer who w

severe head injuries -- almost everyone wears a helmet now -- severe head injuries are more sporadic,ost everyone wears a helmet now. what causes these accidents? i decided to find out. modern materials definitely play a part. glide faster and are easier to steer than a few years ago. that makes people feel more secure and perhaps overconfident. as morees are fuller and more people become winter sports enthusiasts. zeigler manages the ski slopes and several times a day he checks for potential danger. but while icy surfaces and stones can be taken care of, human error will always remain. some people always overestimate their ability and go too fast. out of shape or not warmed up, chances are you will suffer an injury. while others relax on the lift, he worked there. he says he looks around the terrain, especially for possible avalanche threats, for any changes and he checks the ski slope. up here, there is a different view. danger is right along the market ski line. rocks and boulders can cause grievous injury. macher's accident was a reminder of that but many people still ski outside

[speaker not understood] sfmta is on board with achieving this very aggressive but we feel a very doable goal. as you all know, the stats and fatalities are absolutely 100% preventable and it's about getting all of our agencies to work together to be able to achieve that goal. a lot of people play a role in that, but, of course, a critical role sfmta can play what time asking for your support is how we can fund the engineering component of vision zero. am ion time as well? >> we will ask you a question. keep going. how's that? we can understand what you're saying. >>> i love being on the other side.
