Yeah, Because they all think "Wow, I'm a professional athlete! I won't get hurt! I'm to good to get hurt! HELMETS ARE FOR PANSIES!"

I realize that helmets aren't Life insurance. But so many people would still be alive, If they wore one.

As a Bengals fan, im kinda glad he got hurt, but i hope he is ok. When are those dumbass gonna learn about wearing a helmet. They wear one on the field, so why not one on a bike. I have been on many of bikes myself, and you just never know if you are going to hit a rock, a limb, or somebody else is not going to see you, i always have a helmet on.

These guys have everything...young, millions of dollars and still want to take chances by something as simple as not wearing a helmet! I hope he's o.k. even though I don't like the squealers, I still don't wish anyone to get hurt.

"Roethlisberger lost most of his teeth, fractured his left sinus cavity
bone, suffered a nine-inch laceration to the back of his head and a broken
jaw, and severely injured both of his knees when he hit the ground, police
said. A plastic surgeon has been summoned. "

FWIW, it was a 2005 Hyabusa he was riding.
