winters in buffalo Posted June 13, 2006 Share Posted June 13, 2006 Idiot. Just because they relaxed the helmet law doesn't make the pavement safer.You hate to see like this happen, but that's why you wear a helmet... because like this happens.

Bleujayone Posted June 13, 2006 Share Posted June 13, 2006 I think we should wait before passing judgement on whomever else was involved in the crash. None of us were there and much of these reports still have speculation. Maybe the other person did something wrong, or maybe the local media is rushing to defend their local sports hero. The point is not rush to assemble a lynch mob until all the facts are in.Regardless whoever was at fault, I would place some of the blame of his current condition on Roethlisberger himself for not wearing a helmet. Maybe the law says he doesn't have to, but since his very lucrative career depends on him being in the best physical health and condition possible, I would've thought he'd wear a helmet as both preventitve measure and job security. I mean after all- he does wear one in his profession everyday. He could have just as easily had a blowout and fallen off the bike by himself sometime. Regardless of how it might happen, he should have taken steps to avoid such injuries. Not the best judgement was used and this practice was inviting trouble.That said I hope he recovers quickly and in the future invests in a helemt- heaven knows he can afford it. We all have our little faults. Mine's in California. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dilbert Posted June 13, 2006 Share Posted June 13, 2006 Well, he graduated from Miami of Ohio, (where I spent my freshman year, 224 Reid Hall before transferring)..so I hope the former Redskin (or were they Red Hawks by then?) gets better. An unfornate accident.And..I wonder what The Jaw's initial reaction was? They have been the Redhawks since the early-mid ninties Signature intentionally left blank Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

baseballking99 Posted June 13, 2006 Share Posted June 13, 2006 Terry Bradshaw has told Big Ben to ride once he is retired. Its the truth. He has too many people relying on him right now to ride espically without a helmet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Burning River Posted June 13, 2006 Share Posted June 13, 2006 The thing about this is that there have been too many examples of Athletes getting hurt on motorcycles. Over the past few years this has happened a little too often for guys to still think they are different because they are safer. Someone mentioned the driver. That is EXACTLY the point in all of this. Someone can be as safe as possible. You can't control other people. I was on the Ohio Turnpike on Saturday. It was about 3:00 PM, a deer shot right across the freeway about 30 feet in front of a dude on a motorcycle. The guy din't even slow down... nothing. He had no time to react or anything. had he left his house 3 seconds earlier... I would've witnessed something horrific!It seems that Big Ben will recover from his injuries. Although he has to be on one Looooong road to recovery. People seem giddy that his legs/knees are not that severely damages. yet, they forget that he was in surgery for 7 hours to fix his smashed face and gash on his head. I'm sure his jaw will be wired shut, so he will lose some serious weight. He will not bein playing condition any time soon. It's already June 13th.Playing probably isn't his biggest concern right now. Well, it might be just to save... err... "face". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jigga Posted June 13, 2006 Share Posted June 13, 2006 You know who's fault it was, REALLY? Ben Roethlisberger.He apparently does not have a valid motocycle operator's license. So his ass shouldn't have been on the bike in the first place, regardless if the old hag shouldn't have had her blind ass behind the wheel anyway.

zer0dotcom Posted June 13, 2006 Share Posted June 13, 2006 Regardless of who was at fault, anyone who drives a motorcycle without wearing proper protection is just plain stupid.Think about it, you're on a vehicle that is two wheels with a motor attached, no outer frame, no actual protection coming from the vehicle itself. If you get his, your on your own. Why wouldn't you want to protect your head and your body? This is a perfect example of why protecting yourself is important, it isn't about you doing something stupid, its about other drivers. ben is damn lucky he isn't dead, because that could have easily happened. If he didn't have his licence, and if it was against his contract, he should be punished for this, because it was extremely stupid. Why gamble with your life and career just because the lawq says that you don't need a helmet? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think since he's supposedly "alright" (nobody with a broken jaw and a messed up grill like he got now would be alright), I think he should have some sort of punishment, whether it be from the authorities or a hefty from the Steelers, he should be punished, although thank God he's alive.
