I agree with the arguments regarding the new grey area surrounding temporary injuries, or even less severe permanent ones. But I don't think that he is truly at an advantage simply because he rides. If this happened 30 years ago it would be no big deal, but in todays litigious society you know that some **** will come out of the woodwork and use this ruling as a "precedence" and sue somebody to play. Damn shame, but you know it's true.
