Pittsburgh Steeler Training Camp started this week and it reminded me of how lucky Ben Roethlisberger is to be playing football this year. (And how lucky Pittsburgh is!) Just over a year ago, Big Ben was in a motorcycle accident that rocked Pittsburgh and the rest of the Steeler nation. We breathed a collective sigh of relief when our Superbowl quarterback was discharged from the hospital with high hopes of a full recovery.
Big Ben wouldn't go onto the football field without a helmet, and my guess is that if he ever gets on a bike again, you'll see him wearing a helmet. At Edgar Snyder & Associates, we respect bikers' freedom of choice yet we see the devastating head injuries that can result when you don't wear a helmet. Many are fatal. The National Highway Traffic Safety Association estimates that helmets saved 1,546 motorcyclists' lives in 2005, and that 728 more could have been saved if all motorcyclists had worn helmets.
So whenever you're riding on two wheels, we urge you to wear a helmet. And by the way, Go Steelers!
