scribo Posted May 9, 2005 Share Posted May 9, 2005 AP Article So Roethlisberger was riding about PA without a helmet! And Bill Cowher wasn't happy. Wouldn't it be terrible if he pulled a Winslow? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
duey Posted May 9, 2005 Share Posted May 9, 2005 What a douchbag. My wife works in rehab and the most prevalent cause of head "injury" after strokes are motorcycle accidents. A former coworker of mine died in December from head and other injuries resulting from a motorcycle accident, and he was wearing a helmet and a leather riding suit.

He's got so much, and he's willing to risk it all just so he can feel the wind in his fugging hair. Ride a roller coaster! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Regardless... A helmet has small effect on a bang-out crash, (a fender-bender on a bike is catastrophic) but for the more prevalent wheel spinning on a wet or slick pavement and the knock of the head on the curb or the pole, a helmet may save your life - neck snaps notwithstanding. Sorry about that fellow - he did the right thing, though, even with the tragic outcome. Many don't. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike32282 Posted May 9, 2005 Share Posted May 9, 2005 He won't act like this if he ever gets into an accident and !@#$s up his career and loses millions and millions of dollars. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buftex Posted May 9, 2005 Share Posted May 9, 2005 A girl in my office suffered head injuries a few weeks back. She was riding her new motorcycle, with a helmet, her first day on the road. Luckily, she will be fine, but her face (and teeth) got pretty messed up! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EC-Bills Posted May 9, 2005 Share Posted May 9, 2005 Asked why he doesn't wear a helmet -- something he wouldn't think about doing on a football field -- Roethlisberger pointed out Pennsylvania's 35-year-old state law requiring helmets to be worn was amended two years ago. Wow. I love his logic. So if Pennsylvania had a 35 year old state law requiring people to go jump off a cliff... He qualifies for douchbag-extraordinaire Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
