Idiot wasn't wearing a helmet either.

WebairGerard · 06-12-2006, 10:11 AM

I hope he is OK

fitzmulti · 06-12-2006, 10:13 AM

Ya, it is a mess. Watching live TV coverage here (in Vegas) online from a TV station there. Lots of confusion, and words like "critical" don't sound good.

Mr. Romance · 06-12-2006, 10:14 AM

dammm, that sucks, the only things i fear in the world are motorcycles, and women (the pain of love)

Helmet or no helmet anyone with the potential to set himself up for life by dedicating a few years to sports is an idiot.

What might be a minor arm or leg injury could cost millions to someone at his level.

Miss Lissa · 06-12-2006, 10:19 AM

Broken neck or not...he'll be on the field in time for football season.
GO STEELERS!!!

Is that confirmed yet? They keep referring to the fact that he prefers not to wear a helmet.

J. Falcon · 06-12-2006, 10:25 AM

Big Ben was one of the most outspoken people when the KWII motorcycle accident happened last year, kind of bragging about how he would never wear a helmet. I hope this will help him learn why helmets are important.

If he had on a helmet, there wouldn't have been much in the way of head injuries. At least that would be the case with a full face helmet, which I doubt he wears even when he does wear a helmet.

The ESPN break said that he wasn't wearing one.

Miss Lissa · 06-12-2006, 10:30 AM

No he wasn't wearing a helmet, from what my grandpa says, a lady turned in front of him and his head hit her windsheild and then hit the ground, no word on how bad he is though...

The Pittsburgh TV station I am watching online has eyewitness people interviews stating that he was not wearing a helmet, and there was a lot of blood @ the scene.

Doc from hospital just said he was in "serious, but stable" condition and has just gone into surgery.

NOTHING about a broken neck, so I don't know what that post was about.

TheSenator · 06-12-2006, 10:35 AM

I hope he is well first then I'll start bashing him for not wearing a helmet.

J. Falcon · 06-12-2006, 10:36 AM

People are saying he may never play again.

I wouldn't be surprised.

Juilan · 06-12-2006, 10:38 AM

Damn they don't call 'em donorcycles for nothing

LittleSassy · 06-12-2006, 10:44 AM

Pity...he has his career right in front ogf him. Now there's a chance that he wont be playing again because of his carelessness

Miss Lissa · 06-12-2006, 10:44 AM

I think him never playing again is all just hype... I was just on his website, it said that he was still conscious, when he was taken away...

Splum · 06-12-2006, 10:51 AM

I D I O T

SwankGoat · 06-12-2006, 10:57 AM

He was concious and alert on way to hospital...Seems like a good guy, hope he is ok.

"Serious" injuries are seldom if ever prevented by a helmet. The brain hitting the inside of the skull is the problem. A helmets purpose is to absorb energy, delaying or reducing sudden deceleration.

The fact is at speed it doesn't really make a difference. You're fucked either way. Whiplash being a major factor in this type of brain damage isn't helped by helmet use either.

Avoiding the accident in the first place is the real issue. Helmets reduce your side vision, reduce your hearing, ... ALL situational awareness levels drop when wearing a helmet.

OG LennyT · 06-12-2006, 11:10 AM

Quote:

Roethlisberger continued to ride after Winslow's accident and that angered Terry Bradshaw, who quarterbacked the Steelers to four Super Bowl victories during the 1970s.

Visiting the Steelers' training camp last summer, Bradshaw remarked: "Ride it when you retire."

In May 2005, Steelers coach Bill Cowher lectured Roethlisberger on the dangers of riding without a helmet.

owned.....

Miss Lissa · 06-12-2006, 11:16 AM

He'll be alright. He'll be leading the Steelers to another Super Bowl this season...

You mean minor cosmetic injuries ... Please don't spread the fairy-tale that accidents are ok if you are wearing a helmet ...

smack · 06-12-2006, 12:10 PM

all i know is that he better be able to perform like he did this season.

what an ass. he's going to get the evil chin from Cower for sure over this.

Roethlisberger suffered a broken jaw, broke his left sinus cavity, suffered a 9-inch laceration to the back of his head, lost many teeth and has severe injuries to his knees from hitting the pavement.

SxDx · 06-12-2006, 12:57 PM

not sure why anyone with his profile would risk losing everything with behavior like this. just doesn't make sense unless he insured his ass at lloyd's of london for an obscene amount of money.

Three months before I was born my father was hit by a little old man and sent flying 150 feet down the highway. He landed on his face and had he not had a helmet and full leathers, I'd have grown up fatherless.

They might not save you each and every time, but without one...you don't even have a chance.

Miss Lissa · 06-12-2006, 03:50 PM

If he never plays football again, it will be because of his busted knees, which a helmet would have done no good to protect...

Candy, not to argue but back then he would have had an open-face helmet ... my point is NOT pro/con helmet ... my point is do not get a false feeling of safety just because you are wearing one.

Andiz · 06-12-2006, 03:57 PM

He fucking had it coming, I just saw an interview of him on ESPN2.
The tough guy didn't need a helmet......and he was driving the fastest street legal bike (Hayabusa). He was sure that he would never crash

What goes around, comes around...........

Miss Lissa · 06-12-2006, 04:14 PM

What goes around comes around? What did he do? Just because he had a nice bike? Or because he didn't believe in helmets? Even if he was wearing a helmet, he would still be in the hospital, the damn things don't protect your whole body...

lush_life · 06-12-2006, 04:19 PM

Hayabusa and no helmet even after warnings, theres a bright fella
woman pulled out in front of him, wow big suprise

i can't wait to read his book

If he would have the proper protection then he wouldn't be as fucked up as he is now.I'm not saying that he wouldn't be in the hospital, but his injuries would be less for sure.Not wearing a helmet is equals to having a deathwish.
His sole purpose in life is simply to serve as a warning to others.

dynastoned · 06-12-2006, 04:27 PM

those bikes are dangerous enough as it is. not wearing a helmet is plain retarded..

Miss Lissa · 06-12-2006, 04:32 PM

Soul purpose in life is to serve as a warning? He's not dead, and even if he doesn't play again, he's already made NFL history. He's broken more records than I can count in the two amazing years he has played.
It's too early to say what is and isn't going to happen with him.
GO STEELERS!

Roethlisberger has pointed out Pennsylvania's 35-year-old state law requiring helmets to be worn was amended in September 2003 to make helmets optional.

I wonder if he'll be the poster boy getting that law reversed again.

From what i read, he broke his jaw, has missing teeth and has a 9 inch laceration on his head.
