I sent him a cheery reply, NOT!!!
on the up
I think he's got a point.
He's referring to motorcyclists who refuse to wear a helmet.
And I to my motorcycle parked like the soul of the junkyard. Restored, a bicycle fleshed with power, and tore off. Up Highway 106 continually drunk on the wind in my mouth. Wringing the handlebar for speed, wild to be wreckage forever.

Whats your email?Originally Posted by celticno6
So car drivers who dont wear seat belts should no longer receieve medical care in a crash? I think anyone who gets on a bike without a helmet is a complete fucking moron but I couldnt care if it was osama fucking bin laden, they still deserve medical care in an accident!
BAD DOG!!
I actually think he's spot on. If you read all the links the comments were made in response to a law change which makes helmets optional in one of the states. Having dealt with some 'victims' of riding without a helmet all I can say is Fuckin' Ay!
P.S. I have to stop hitting reply and then cruising off to browse other windows :P

Immature and proud of it.
He's aptly named.
But if this did become law, I'd hope it would be extended to all other darwinian pursuits.

Well as an article is was a huge success. It has provoked a lot of activity and since stuff like..
“If only lawmakers had thought to add a requirement that all helmet-less cyclists agree to donate their organs. And why not require donorcyclists to sign papers declining extraordinary lifesaving measures, so that deserving organ recipients aren't kept waiting unnecessarily?”
Is designed to do so, I salute his writing ability...
Problem is, while I see his point, I cannot agree. We can pass laws, police these laws and we can educate but we still need to show compassion. Life is not full of black and white situations and I don't want doctors in pressure situations making those kinds of decisions..
'No helmet? Right! Harvest this sucker... "
" But doctor, his passenger removed his helmet to administer CPR."
" Oh bugger... Um.. Nurse... Can you remember where this bit goes?"
Dunno. Helmet laws in the USA are pretty friggin mad..

I sent a note of encouragement, no point in only sending emails to people you "disagree" with.

kinda split on that. If you ride without a helmet, then you're asking trouble anyway. Chances are if you aren't wearing a helmet, then the jandels, shorts and singlet aren't going to save much of you in a crash anyway. So what is the chance of survival? Probably not a lot, or, a fuk load of ops for the rest of your life.
If you are wearing a helmet, granted, a lot of people are still dumb-fuk-enuff to wear jandels, shorts n singlets etc, same thing applies as above, it's still going to hurt.
But more so (I hope) that those wearing helmets, and want to survive with their organs intact, will be wearing the appropriate safety gear.
In short, I vaguely know what I mean, I hope you do to. Just wear the friggen helmet.

I love helmets....people can't see how UGLY I am
The instructions are simple...
I sent him this - Why stop at leaving injured bikers to die. Make it all crash victims, as they have 'proved' that they are not up to task of controlling their vehicle and therefore must be sub-standard humans. A lot like reporters really.
Do you realise how many holes there could be if people would just take the time to take the dirt out of them?

I don't actually agree with organ donation, or transplants, so I guess it stops right there for me.
If a man is alone in the woods and there isn't a woke Hollywood around to call him racist, is he still white?

Don't know about you guys but I read the original story at Detroit Free Press and got a different view of what he was saying to that of the AMA...
Another 'bite sized snippet' of the whole story...
