Crash today (Crotch Rocket)
This kid crashed today in my town. Speed was a factor, no helmet on driver who was flown out by helicopter with head injuries. Female passenger had a helmet on and was in stable condition.

We just had a rider killed by a drunk as she turned in front of him (left turn). The rider was not wearing a helmet and was going 98 in a 45. After looking at the case the State Attorney is not going to file DUI Manslaughter charges, they said that even though she was drunk, .207 legal limit is .08, he was exceeding the speed limit when he hit her. They will file charges for DUI though. Needless to say the family is not happy with this decision.

A few months ago we had a guy crash wearing a helmeyt and he is now paralyzed from the neck down. The doctors told him if he hadn't had the helmet on he'd be dead. I'd rather be dead.

I don't know about that. If paralyzed, I would still be able to watch my boys play sports, see the grandkids smiles, be there for the weddings, graduations etc. I think you get my point.

RE: Crash today (Crotch Rocket)
I am already paralyzed from the neck up, so I will wear my helmet. If its gods will for me the rest of me to be paralyzed, so be it. At least what small sense I have will be preserved intact. I would rather have my faculties and be paralyzed than be a veggie. Even a slow speed accident with no helmet can make you a vegetable.
