Who knows how bad it would have been without the helmet.

As long as we are going to pay to treat everyone who walks into an emergency room, I am in favor of laws that prevent people from stupidly hurting themselves. If healthcare went 100% libertarian, then I suppose they could get rid of the laws and I wouldn't care.

Have you "freshened up" his life insurance policy lately?

Yes, at this point we both have excellent life insurance policies, because if either one of us dies, the other one would be well and truly fucked, financially. Him even more than me, to be honest.

Best is to leave those already dead to be left alone. Enough scary Pendot holes already exist. We don't need any more scary things.

Both times I've gone over the handlebars, I was on the ground before I knew it and had absolutely no recollection of flying through the air. Neither was at speed and there was no way that I would have been able to draw on "falling techniques". When helmets were first made compulsory here, I HATED them. Now, I see their value.

Yes UG - PennDOT

Then again it should probably be PADOT
