Missed his chance to be an organ donor. Do you think he learned a lesson?

yeah.. that's the phone call you never want to get. and no matter how fast you drive, you can never catch that helicopter flying him to the hospital. ugh.

 

he is indeed lucky. just a little harder and it would have been a funeral.

 

when he gets better, i'm gonna kill him.

I live in New Hampshire which doesn't require a helmet.

I love the almost automatic "I don't want to live if I get into an accident" response I get from almost everyone I ask about riding without a helmet.....

 

 

 

And I know the first thing that goes through their head as they are sailing over their bars at 50 is..."I wish I had a helmet".........

Dear TLDig,

 

:( Is he your nephew? :(

 

I recall a pic you posted of a young feller wearing (I think) a cowboy hat and belt w/ a big buckle.

 

:( The injured motorcyclist looks like that feller. :(

Who?
You?

May he soon recover.

 

 

When I saw the first pic of him he reminded me of Jason Aldean, the country music singer.

My cousin's a neurologist...

in Easton, MD between Baltimore/Washington and the Beaches.

Used to not be a helmet law in MD, but there's still lots of folks on bikes.

He's had to tell many families that their sons will never be the same again.

Those that survive.

 

 

Hope your boy's going to be OK...
