I know his health status far outweighs this, but it just occurred to me that he seemed to be in a TON of TV advertisements.
I'm sure he'll spend a lot of time in the plastic surgery chair before filming anything new for Nike...

This is apples and oranges. Helmet laws only have fines attached to them. Drug laws = jail time. The drug war is far worse for our rights as citizens than helmet laws. I support helmet laws, but not the drug war. Helmet laws DO NOT infringe upon your rights because they are not a serious nuissance. It's just a freaking helmet.
I would have to say,
that his face would agree.
Gary Busey got hurt with no helmet too,if I recall correct.

As a former street bike rider I feel bad for the guy. Doesn't seem like it was his fault. And I can say that I didn't always wear my helmet in town going slow but always did on the highway. However that was when I was a 18-20, not a grown man who makes a living having a healthy body.
Say what you want, but wearing a helmet could have prevented the facial injuries like lacerations and broken facial bones. His knees might be messed up yet but then again, if you ride bike a lot you really NEED to have the full leather/knee/elbow/etc protective gear on.

Trolling?
Take your hyper-sensitivity and holier-than-thou ego and shove them up your ass, Nancy-boy. :lips:When the original thread was posted, there was no mention of him not wearing helmet. The OP simply refered to him as a 'retard' for driving a motorcycle and having an accident, causing him to "blow the season." His outrage was entirely based on him not liking the idea that a pro-athlete was engaging in potentially hazardous activities off the field.
My point still stands. He an individual. Driving a cycle without a helmet may be patently stupid, but it's his call, not yours. Just because you see him on TV doesn't mean the man owes you people anything, especially his own personally safety; and the OP and others who think differently are just as retarded as him.
You people need to get over you childish hero-worshipping, or at least transfer your adoration to someone worthwhile, rather than a dumb-as-a-brick football star. Either that, or lower you expectations a few notches. :roll:

Dude, he runs around on grass with a helmet on, but on a motorbike it is too much for him to handle?!
Brand new bike is a possibility. However, wide chicken strips don't necessarily indicate a safe rider...just an unconfident one.
Unlike cars, people who ride bikes usually do it for the love of it, which means that the more experience you get, the more you learn to lean. Wide strips could mean a new bike, a new rider, or an unconfident rider, but I certainly wouldn't correlate them with safety, anymore than I would a car with very little brake wear.

was this the final year of his contract? if the injuries are serious how much will he lose? about $30 million guaranteed (compared to vick and manning). he did win the superbowl for one reason or another.
More cops enforcing stupid seat belt laws means more tax dollars for you and more money. This stupid raises insurance premiums argument is ridiculous.
You probably complain about SUV drivers who use more gas and increase demand for gas and therefore raise gas prices too huh? Thus, SUVs should be outlawed and the government should be able to tell people they can't drive what they want to drive.
It's amazing that people are willing to give up personal freedoms and allow the government to regulate and enforce things that they should stay out of.
the fact that within the first 5 questions or so, the reporter says the bike was a harley davidson and ben's knees weren't involved kinda makes you stop readingOriginally posted by: bunnyfubbles
thanks for this, reading it now, so far doesn't sound as serious as some of the rumors but you never know I guess.
Here's to hoping he'll just end up with an ugly (uglier?) mug to match (or surpass) Jack Lambert

The state must balance individuals' rights and freedoms with public safety and order. Requiring that bikers wear helmets does not seriously infringe upon their rights, while it saves lives. Last I looked, there is no "right to ride around on a motorcycle without a helmet like a total freaking idiot." The right to privacy doesn't even cover it. There are absolutely NO problems associated with motorcycle helmet laws, while there are serious side effects associated with the drug war.
