I've been following Crosby's progress as well and mirror my expectations (as an athlete) to how well I will recover based on his experiences. Of course, there's not such a thing as contact in cycling except when you meet the ground.
I've also read articles on many cyclists that have had PCS because of crashing. The one most notable was Jens Voigt a few years back when he met the asphalt down a mountain pass at 50+mph in the Tour de France. He lost consciousness for 20 minutes and in an interview several months after the crash, you can see his scars and obviously he was shaken by the event. Now he still rides, taking part in the current Paris-Nice race. I have plenty of questions to ask him and how he recovered.
