Wear a Helmet!

I really don't understand riding a motorcycle without a helmet. As you have likely heard, Steelers QB Ben Roethlisberger had an accident on motorcycle. He was in serious but stable condition after seven hours of surgery to repair multiple facial fractures. He was not wearing a helmet and reportedly did not have a valid license. If you want to know why Ben did not wear a helmet, here are his own words regarding the subject. I remember watching watching the interview on ESPN and thinking he was just asking for something to happen. Although, I do think he was stupid, I do wish him a fast and speedy recovery.

According to ESPN;
Roethlisberger...continued to ride after Winslow's accident and that angered Terry Bradshaw, who quarterbacked the Steelers to four Super Bowl victories during the 1970s.

Visiting the Steelers' training camp last summer, Bradshaw remarked: "Ride it when you retire."

He should have "Bradshawed" him.

In the interview I remember thinking the same thing. That ninja is gonig to get in a wreck. He said that he would wear a helmet if it mandatory, but he likes the freedom and the wind on his face. I wonder if he likes the tubes and windshield glass coming out of his face. RTU
