Each motorcycle accidents are different. Hey, Ben survived and he may play this coming season, another helmet-less biker! I was in 5 motorcycle accidents, 4 of them I just walked fine, the 5th one was painful and sent me to emergency room. The next day I ride again!
More and more states are now repeling the helmet law... Why? They found out in statistic that bikers without helmet have 1/2% improved survival rate than those with helmets! In other words, there is almost no difference between with and without helmet when it comes to surviving an accident.
Sad fact, around 80% of motorcycle involved accients were caused by careless driver, not bikers!
