    It appears that rider may have dodged the bullet this time; doubt that he even is aware of that fact. [:(]

    When I left the service ... I worked for awhile on a physical rehab unit. Most of the folks there were male, most were teens and early twenties, most were spine and neck, most never walk again.

    Had a very good friend of mine during that time hit by a woman of malice while he was on his MC doing about 50. He never had any fondness for wearing a helmet. Thought it for sissies and pansies. Got ticketed a copy of times for not wearing it. [V] [:(] [:(!]

    Well he was launched airborne ... by then going over 50 ... head first into the curb. Split that helmut like it were a pecan! After that he didn't want to even see that bike without having the helmet strapped on securely. Heck he didn't even want to take it off his head wehn he got off the bike! May have even slept witha helmet on after that for all I know. [^]
