I too ride cycles and choose not to wear a helmet. Yes my problem & still my choice in the state of WI. Nobody will know if this man had a helmet on if he would have the same injuries. I lost 2 friends in a cycle crash both wearing helmets. Its hard to say. Every accident is different. My husband is a Paramedic and it could go either way. I heard this one was pretty bad though I have a friend that works in the UW ER. Very very sad. Best wishes to him and his family.

Sara, Duh, a possible reason for his head injury could be due to a lack of wearing a helmet. I ride and choose to wear a helmet. I also work with brain injured individuals--many of them bikers who didn't wear helmets. Job security, I guess. Their choice, their consequences.

Sara, maybe we're discussing helmet use because his wearing one might have prevented the head injury??? This is not a memorial page to only say nice things about people who are hurt. It's a place to discuss news items of the day, and discussing helmets while discussing a motorcycle crash makes perfect sense.
