I think your missing the point...Point being, no matter how good of a rider you are, accidents happen, and it would be the smart thing to wear a helmet.
You can't deny the fact, that they save countless numbers of lives, and that accidents can and will happen. You can't control other drivers on the road....
I'm sure that his family would have pefered him to be wearing a helmet, and be alive...
Agreed, you never can control your surroundings, no matter what your skill level is. -
I agree with everybody aabout how he should have been wearing a helmet, no one knows whats going to happen out on the streets. There are some really crappy drivers out there, and lots dont even notice motorcycles. Personally you could be the best biker out there and have been racing super bikes for years, and i would still wear a helmet on the streets just because of other drivers.

I just got off the phone with a friend who saw him in the hospital. He said Dan's head had swollen up 5x its nornal size (his words) and blood was gushing from his ears, eyes, nose, and mouth. Other than that he just had a broken right arm, leg, and wrist. I guess his family flew up from texas and I should be getting funeral info soon.

Why do people not wear helmets in the first place? Do they think they look cool without it or somethin?
-
That is too bad, my thoughts with the family as well. I didn't know him but from what I heard he seemed like a nice guy.
and YES no matter what you should wear a helmet. It shouldn't even think twice about it.

I have never talked to him before, but I knew him by his white grand am. I just feel sad for his family, especially his kid. Such a tragedy to die at a young age. All prayers from my mom and I are toward his family. My mom taught him in high school.

his funeral is at 10:30 am on monday at St Josephs in moorhead.

I dont care how geeky you think it is, HELMETS SAVE LIVES. When i get my bike, i am going to where a helmet all the time, i dont care if it messes up my hair or anything. I would rather look like a geek, that die in an accident. Thats just me personally.

who's all going to go to his funeral?

I had to be a bearer of bad news to a friend. his best friend is Dan Trevinos bro. It was during the banquet when i told him to go call his friend. I hate being put in those positions.

I also think a Helmet law should be passed. One of my best friends and co workers rode from our store to his house, which is no more than 1 mile away. We all told him to wear his helmet and he didn't, saying it was just a short ride. I left work that day a few minutes early only to see a smashed bike in the middle of the intersection and my friend bleeding from his head.
He may not have done anything stupid, but the lady in the Tacoma that cut him off was all it took for him to have his bike totaled and get some stitches in his head. He wasn't riding beyond his skill level or doing anything of the sort, she just caused an accident.
From talking to a close friend that moved to Canada, where it is law all motorcyclists must wear helmets, he said after wearing one every day for 3 years now when he rides, he could not really imagine riding without. Whether it gets hot and obnoxious on warm days or not, common sense tells me it wouldn't be the dumbest thing to wear one.
