In one sense, you feel bad for the guy. In the other, you wonder why he just didn't put on a helmet.

I know...obviously you dont want it to ever happen, but still. Wearing a helmet hurts you in no way...not wearing one...well it can.

Anyone who rides a motorcycle without a helmet is just completely nuts. Remember when Ben Roethlisberger crashed on his bike without a helmet and when asked about why he didn't wear one, he said some crap about "It was just more of a freeing experience without one" Yeah right up until you crashed into a car..
