Ben Roethlisberger hurt in crash
Gee guess Terry Bradshaw was right when he advised him to quit the riding until he retired. Crash boom!! Was thrown hard and far, in serious condition.
Some 62 year old lady sent him flying.

I dont know if the board has seen the bumper stickers...
Become An Organ Donor, Ride a Motorcycle. I will never ever get on one and no one in my family will get on the death machine. My wife got called out so many times in the middle of the night to go do workups on Donors that had been involved in motorcycle accidents. Young people, healthy and dead. Absolutely sad.

No doubt they are dangerous. I remember a story they did on Big Ben last fall, They said he didn't wear a helmut, but he wasn't one of those wild riders, he just likes to cruise around. He said he's real careful, but you can't control the other drivers out there. With a friggin million dollar superbowl arm, I think I would be doing all the "cruising" I can handle after I retire.

They just replayed the interview on ESPN from about a year ago. Interesting. He says in the interview that "if it was a law" he would definitely wear his helmet, but since it's not, he doesn't.
I had always heard that you can't legislate common sense, but maybe you can.

Bet he'll have a helmet on next time he rides. If he didn't have to wear a helmet on the football field would he go out there without one? Been a Steeler fan for the 30 years, waited for that Super Bowl victory for 25. If his injury is real serious, his actions will set the club back - big time! I though they needed a good back up for if he gets hurt next season. They really need one now! And Charlie Batch doesn't cut it!!!

Banged up Ben
He suffered multiple facial fractures," Pituch said. "All of the fractures were successfully repaired. His brain, spine, chest and abdomen appear to be without serious injury. And there are no other confirmed injuries at this time."
The doctors declined to release further information at the family's request. ESPN.com's John Clayton has confirmed that Roethlisberger also suffered a 9-inch laceration to the back of his head, has lost or chipped a number of teeth and has minor injuries to his knees from hitting the pavement. A broken jaw normally takes seven weeks to heal. It is not known how long it will take for the other injuries to heal. Pittsburgh's training camp begins in late July. He'll be cutting a pretty hefty check to his plastic surgeon, or no more Letterman for him. Doesn't sound like he'll be ready for camp.

well its more than just a guy, its the super bowl winning quarterback. and judging from the mangles of his ride, i would say he will never regain the physical prowess he once enjoyed.
he should have headaches the rest of his life, doubt if he will be able to run without knee pain, and who knows if he will concuss the first time he takes a hit. bad siuation , dumd, dumb, dumb......

And we should feel sorry for somebody who doesnt wear a helmet riding a momocyle? He deserves what he gets and frankly he is in the select few who are even able to survive a momocylce accident.
I equate momocyles to insects. They only come out in the summer and make a lot of noise and are irritating.

Gander, I have to say, that is very cold. I'm not a steeler fan or a big ben fan for that matter, but I still feel sorry for the guy. Do you not feel sorry for people who dont wear seatbelts and are hurt in car accidents? I don't agree with him not wearing a helmet but I still have enough compassion to care that he's ok.
