ABC Asia Pacific - Nexus - English Bites - BMX Dangers: "DR CHRIS KIRBY: In the last year or so at the Children's, we've seen a series of children actually have the handlebar penetrate the abdominal wall and do major, serious, life-threatening injuries to the intestine and blood vessels.

NICOLE ELY: 12-year-old Jordan Day is just one example of the sort of patient Dr Kirby is starting to come across.

Eight weeks ago, the dedicated BMX fan was riding his beloved bike in a park near his house.

JORDAN DAY: Got lots of air, came down about here, and probably landed about here, and fell off my bike and slid down the hill to about here, and I was just laying down with my arms up and my stomach open.

PAT DAY, JORDAN'S MOTHER: So I raced down here to the park assuming that Jordan had perhaps badly grazed his knee, and found that Jordan was laying on the ground with a severe stomach injury with about a quarter of his large intestine exposed."
