Word on another board is that Bryce's blade hit Jessica in the face during SBS spins, she was taken off on a stretcher, bleeding and crying but conscious. Seems that several sources have confirmed it. Jeebus, these 2 can't buy a break.

HOLY CRAP!!!!!!!! I hope she is ok

[Spun Silver]

Nightmare - pray she's OK.

[rain]

That's awful!!!! This will have to go down in history as the worst competition for them — ever. Hope she's alright.

[Wren]

Oh god, I hope she's okay...
Is there any news on it up yet, what exactly happened?
Poor both of them, they have been having such a hard time...

[rain]

So will they postpone the pairs FS? This has to have shaken up many of the competitors....

[SailorGalaxia518]

I hope not but it is understandable.

This just gives me chills after what happend to Elena Berzeshnaya quite a few years ago.

Photo taken at accident scene. I think pairs skating is prone to accident. Don't forget Z/Z and TT/MM.

Wow 2 nasty on ice incidents this year alone + I think already 2 knee surgeries.,this girl sure deserves a break at last.I do hope sh'e okay and that it isn't too serous this time.My prayers are with you Jessica !

[Fruit Loops]

Oh my gosh! This is certainly the team of hard knocks. It doesn't matter how talented you are...sometimes injury and bad luck just get in the way. Oh my! Poor girl! Poor Bryce! I hope he doesn't beat himself up for what was an accident. I just....I just can't believe it.

I love this team and hope they can come back and kick butt at Worlds!

[SailorGalaxia518]

I can just imagine what these skaters are feeling right now

[Saundy]

Man...this is ridiculous. After all they've been through...to come back and win Canadians and now this happens. So very sad. I hope she can bounce back and that Bryce doesn't take this out on himself. Accidents happen.
