Branson said his helmet helped mitigate most of the damage. His bike fell off the cliff. He cracked his cheek and cut his chin, knee and shoulder, among other things, but hasn't sustained any serious injuries apart from some torn ligaments, he wrote. 。

Branson, who is an experienced kitesurfer and adventurer, is no stranger to accidents. In February, he said on Twitter he'd been bitten by a stingray while swimming in the Cayman Islands. Despite his most recent accident, he still plans to participate in the challenge next month. 。相关文章
