hobsgrg Posted June 12, 2006 Share Posted June 12, 2006 Damn I just hope it's nothing too serious. I seriously hope he starts wearing a helmet after this, the fact he rides without a helmet is just crazy considering what can happen on a motorbike.

method Posted June 12, 2006 Share Posted June 12, 2006 I came here to post this exact thing. I would have thought that Ben would have learned something from Winslow's accident, but I guess not. The sad thing is that he bragged about not wearing a helmet not to long after Winslow's accident. I hope that he is not too seriously injured.

Aaron Veteran Posted June 12, 2006 Veteran Share Posted June 12, 2006 I wonder if his contract contains a "Don't be an idiot and get hurt" clause?

L3thal Veteran Posted June 12, 2006 Veteran Share Posted June 12, 2006 What is that idiot doing? First off, he is riding a bike without a helmet and second off, I am pretty certain it violates his term of his contract with the team. :no: Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/469393-steelers-roethlisberger-is-in-accident/#findComment-587598814 Share on other sites More sharing options...
ranasrule Posted June 12, 2006 Share Posted June 12, 2006 The Pittsburgh Tribune Review is reporting Roethlisberger lost most of his teeth, fractured his left sinus cavity bone, suffered a nine-inch laceration to the back of his head and a broken jaw, and severely injured both of his knees when he hit the ground, police said.

PatriotsM16 Posted June 12, 2006 Share Posted June 12, 2006 how can you be so cold, its a human life and one of the best players in the actual league. I must admit I am terribly worried :no: Its not being cold...its called common sense bro.....If you know that you will be getting atleast 5 million dollars a year, would you ever ride motorcycles without helmets. Have we forgotten Kellen Winslow ?? or Jay Williams ?? People who "hate" wearing helmets and tell me where they both are now No Where...... I have no pity for him.....but for his family and the Steelers and their fans.

Aaron Veteran Posted June 12, 2006 Veteran Share Posted June 12, 2006 Ouch. Most of the Pittsburgh sites are being hammered so I'd thought I'd post these instead of linking them. One report I read said witnesses say he collided with this car and his head is what made that impact on the windshield.

DreAming in DigITal Posted June 12, 2006 Share Posted June 12, 2006 how can you be so cold, its a human life and one of the best players in the actual league. I must admit I am terribly worried :no: 1) Hes not one of the best players in the league (not even close). Not even in the top 5 at his own position. 2) Driving a motorcycle without a helmet is stupid. 3) Driving a motorcycle without a helmet when earning millions of dollars playing pro football while your contracts specifically says not to is really really stupid.

I am Reid Posted June 13, 2006 Share Posted June 13, 2006 1) Hes not one of the best players in the league (not even close). Not even in the top 5 at his own position. 2) Driving a motorcycle without a helmet is stupid. 3) Driving a motorcycle without a helmet when earning millions of dollars playing pro football while your contracts specifically says not to is really really stupid. Yeah he for sure isnt one of the best players in the leauge. I mean he did have decent stats, but he isnt the best. He's exactly like Craig Krenzel from Ohio State a few years ago, Krenzel actually was a really ****ty quarterback, but he just always seemed to get the job done when it matterd. Anyways, what the **** is up with people and motorcycles, those damn things need to be banned. Just today when i was coming home, i saw a guy get in a wreck on one. No matter what you say those things are not safe at all. When ever i see that someone has died in an accident it just seems to always be a motorcycle. Just look at that mydeathspace site, alot of those people died from motorcycle accidents. He should of learned from stupid ass kellen winslow, i said the day the browns drafted his dumbass it was a bad pick, and so far I am 100% correct.

bluewind. Posted June 13, 2006 Share Posted June 13, 2006 Yeah I go to college in Pittsburgh and everyones talking about it. I heard it in class. Supposedly he was cut off by a car and slammed into it. A lot of people have been saying that the person driving the car better stay indoors (crazy Steelers fans). I also heard the lady that called the police didn't recognize him as big Ben. http://sports.espn.go.com/nfl/news/story?i...e=ESPNHeadlines Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/469393-steelers-roethlisberger-is-in-accident/#findComment-587600258 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dallas Posted June 13, 2006 Share Posted June 13, 2006 I still don't understand why no helmet was used :no: Because he is an idiot :angry: .
