According to a report on WTAE's website, Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback Ben Roethlisberger was injured in a motorcycle accident Monday morning.

The Steelers confirmed the accident for the Pittsburgh TV station.
A witness told the station that Roethlisberger went over the handlebars, hit the windshield of another vehicle, then hit the ground.

Roethlisberger was reportedly not wearing a helmet at the time of the accident

Ben is serious but stable by the doc. In surgery. He's coherant, talking and making sense. Very stable. That's all he stated. Would not get into details pertaining to the surgery.

what a dumbass :uhoh: he is one of the others "I'm too good or too cool for a helmet" type of guys and guess what happens? he gets injured, I'm sorry but he's a dumbass, marquee quaterback of the league and the best QB they have had since Terry Bradshaw retires and he just risks everything with this, he just have to take better care of himself, riding without a helmet is just plain stupid.

Hope he gets better, but what a dumbass.

The car made an illegal turn too. Ben's still not as big of a dumbass as Kellen Winslow. He was just pretty much showing off and acting like a jackass when he wrecked. Ben was just riding.

I never see anyone here in Florida wearing a helment since its legal as long as you're over 21...but even under 21 doesn't wear a helment most of the time. I heard helments are pretty dangerous though because they restrict your periphial(sp?) vision.

Still if I was a top QB in the NFL I'm pretty sure I would be wearing a helment :lol:


Glad he's ok though :up:


edit://well I didn't mean helments were DANGEROUS....but you know what I mean :aaron:
