You'd think it would be written into his contract that he's not allowed to ride a motorcycle...

My husband (Lightingguy) just called me from his car, said that Rush just mentioned this. Not good.

Can you imagine being the unsuspecting driver who saw Ben Rothlesberger flying into his windshield? (I wonder if he asked for an autograph?)

"Not wearing a helmet" hmm....You would think a quarterback would know that helmet's offer protection from just this sort of accident. Hope he's ok!

Taken to Mercy. Channel 11 reporterette saying nurses say that Ben did not know his name. Eyewittness said Ben was bloodied but conscious.

Happened at 10th st. bridge and Armstrong Tunnel, straight 1/2 mile drive thru the tunnel to Mercy hospital.

Terry Bradshaw last month criticized Ben for not wearing a helmet.

I've read about his motorcycle ways on FR before.

I believe ER workers have a name for the helmetless motorcycle rider: organ donor.

I’ve crashed my CBR 600 F4 twice on slick pavement (and I was going to fast). The first time my head BOUNCED off the pavement. Thankfully I was wearing a full face and just I was a little woozy for about 15 minutes. I shudder to think what would have happened to me, had I not wearing a helmet.

I saw first hand the effects of motorcycle accidents as a young person. It happend across the street from our house in Albuquerque. I saw the look on the face of the father who was called to scene where his son had just died. After that, i never wanted a motorcycle. Luckily our 19 year old son never wanted one. He was involved in a big pile-up in Austin last month. Car was totaled, but the airbags deployed and he walked away...unhurt. I hope and pray Ben is OK but I would hope he would wear a helmet if he's got to ride a motorcycle. It just makes sense to do so.

I'm a moderator on a Browns board, and all of us hope he recovers fully.

In time for the Browns to beat them twice, to be sure. But fully.

Kellen Winslow II had an accident last year that caused him to miss the season, and there was a lot of talk about Ben also riding, and not wearing a helmet. Ugh.

LIve feed WTAE Pittsburgh

Coverage ongoing, awaiting police presser. Just interviewed the woman who talked to him, said the car hit his bike, his head hit the windshield, he flew over the car, rolled over and over and over, hit his head again on something (couldn't understand what she was talking about, assume something on the road), then stopped, she asked him his name, he asked her where he was, what city he was in, tried to get up and she made him stay down.

Live feed is showing pics of the car - the windshield has an amazing, horrific head-sized inches deep shatter impression.
