The accident that put him in a wheel chair
Kidd suffered serious head and pelvic injuries in a stunt bike crash at the Bulldog Bash, held at Long Marston Airfield near Stratford-upon-Avon on 6 August 1996, when a landing went wrong. In comparison to some of his previous jumps, this stunt was relatively minor, a jump of approximately 50 ft 0 in (15.24 m) across a drag strip. Though he landed the bike upright and on two wheels, Eddie was knocked unconscious. Because of this, he was unable to prevent the bike from continuing up and over a 30 ft 0 in (9.14 m) drop beyond the end of the run off area.[1] Doctors later told his parents that he could be in a coma for up to 10 years, but he regained consciousness within six weeks of the accident.
