A member asked:
I've recently been diagnosed with cerebellar tonsillar ectopia (6mm). will be going to neurologist@stanford. i also have ankylosing spondylitis. before that, i'm going on a cruise with an excursion on a speed boat with high speed tricks. safe for me?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Doctors are smart people, but not always quite that smart. If I knew the speed of the boat, the force of each impact, and exactly what the spine looks like, I would still not know for sure whether it was safe. Were it my spine, I would be cautious rather than take chances.
