Super Bowl champion quarterback knocked off his 'busa
http://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/200...cnn_topstoriesPITTSBURGH (AP) -- Steelers quarterback Ben Roethlisberger broke his jaw and nose in a motorcycle crash Monday, but doctors said they had successfully treated his multiple facial fractures after hours of surgery.
Roethlisberger, the youngest quarterback to lead a team to the Super Bowl championship, was taken to Pittsburgh's Mercy Hospital, where he underwent seven hours of surgery after the late morning accident.

was not wearing a helmet .. even after his coach advised him too ... also showed a clip on tv where he is stating he would wear a helmet if it was law
YOU WILL RESPECT MY AUTHORITAH
What dumb ass rides without a helmet??? It isn't like a gn250 either, its a busa which makes me think the guy liked his speed (both types) in large doses. He got off lightly if that is all that happened to him.
One hell of a ride.
Yes - bad choice - but at lest he is allowed to make it.Originally Posted by Brett

Yes, but this only highlights why he shouldn't be allowed to make it.

A real "touchdown" then
In the beginning, there was nothing. Then the Lord said: "Let there be light"...

Well he was bloody lucky.. considering how smashed up his Busa was....
You can't fight sleep.. if you feel tired, stop and rest!

In countries where the nanny state doesn't try to remove all personal choices some people may choose to wear helmets, or not. They may choose to wear them some times and not others. Of course they have to live with the consequences of their decisions. That's how it used to be here once.
It strikes me as sad that a couple of the posts to this thread indicate that we now have at least one generation that expect all decisions to be made for them by the Government.

Wow his bike is munted....
*doesn't understand the no helmet thing*
I'm not a complete idiot... some pieces are missing
mucho papoosa bueno no panocha
Immature and proud of it.
He needs a law to make him protect himself?
I bet he did college on a sports scholarship, he wouldn't have the brains to do it on IQ.

Only from himself. We on the other hand need a law to protect us from him... because I know who'd be paying for his surgery in NZ, and it sure ain't him...
Blowin up bikes since ages ago
Anyone else find it ironic that those players wear a helmet while playing on the field but he gets on one of the fastest bikes ever made and doesnt wear one? Not that im judging anyone...

When sports people forego ACC, I'll agree with you.

Like Mark Inglis who climbed Mt Everest recently, knew the risks, got frostbite and came back to NZ to have priority surgery at the taxpayers expense.
No insurance cover???

The citizens' participation in sports is at least are arguably good for the country...socially at least, and from stopping the rising porker syndrome in this country (very much debatable from a higher level perspective of health though)...
Being a dip and not wearing a helmet doesn't seem to benefit anyone though...
