On March 19, 2026, Covenant Health shared details of her recovery journey following a major accident that happened during a competition in late 2025. This case highlights the advanced medical support and specialized care available to residents and visitors within the mountain community.
Brown, a well-known Canadian athlete, suffered a broken knee, known as a tibial plateau fracture, on October 14, 2025. The injury occurred during a practice run at the Red Bull Rampage event in Utah. According to Covenant Health, the injury followed a 45-foot fall, while Singletracks initially reported the crash occurred on a 35-foot near-vertical drop. The severity of the injury required specialized orthopedic surgery and a detailed plan for long-term rehabilitation.
The hospital’s sports medicine team provided the expert care and physical therapy needed to help Brown work toward riding her bike again. Covenant Health, the organization that operates the facility, noted that the rapid and collaborative effort between local medical experts was a major factor in her successful recovery.
The facility in Banff is recognized for its ability to handle complex injuries related to high-impact outdoor sports like mountain biking and skiing. Having these specialized medical resources available locally ensures that both professional athletes and community members can receive high-level treatment without leaving the region.
