| Re: Kellen Winslow hurt again What's he doing on a bike anyway, and with no license?? He had a helmet on but it wasn't strapped on. Really smart kid. |

A) Car B) Motorcycle The point is, why drive a motorcycle when you can just drive a car? They both get you places. He wanted to ride the motorbike because he thought it would be fun, and that's just plain stupid, because everybody knows it's not safe. This stuff doesn't "HAPPEN", it's the result of a risky decision. It's especially stupid when you have millions of dollars on the line. | |

| Re: Kellen Winslow hurt again Schneed - I said earlier something like 60% of people Winslow's age have an accident on a bike. Obviously a bike has a much higher danger rate. However, you can get hurt so many ways.

Over the last few years bikes have become another one of the must have toys for the rich boys, even the ones who know nothing about them. The model of bike he had was a pretty powerful sports bike, especially for a first time rider. My guess is he missed the brake, accelerated, hit the curb, and went a&$ over teakettle. Big guys like him are a lot less nimble on a small bike.

| Re: Kellen Winslow hurt again Of course you can get hurt doing almost anything. You could trip on a flight of stairs, slam your hand in a car door, etc. But getting on a motorcycle is taking an unnecessary risk, especially when you're a professional athlete. |

| Re: Kellen Winslow hurt again I personally never thought of being on a motorcycle as that risky. I think that its that type of people and what they do on them that makes it more dangerous. One of the reasons air travel is statisticly safer than cars or bikes is that most pilots are professionals who don't take chances. In short bikes don't kill people, stupid people on bikes kill people.

| Re: Kellen Winslow hurt again I agree that stupid people are more likely to crash a bike... but the physics and lack of protection make bikes inherently dangerous. |

| Re: Kellen Winslow hurt again In 1985 in Manchester, CT, I saw a horrible accident. I watched a motorcycle speed up to make a changing light at a I-84 offramp. The light changed to red and the oncoming traffic had already started. He hit a IROC Camaro head on and was launched at least 100 ft before landing on his head and neck. He wasn't wearling a helmet... not that it would have helped. It was so terrible I couldn't go to work the next day. If he was driving a car, it would have just been a bad accident. |

| Re: Kellen Winslow hurt again EE: I know someone that saw something similar. Only a Van pulled out in front of a bike and the bike was going so fast he split right through the middle of the van, and came out the other side. Well.. Parts of him. They said they can never shake those images.

| Re: Kellen Winslow hurt again For some reason this story interests me. Rumor around on the Brown's forum is its a cracked rib and colasped lung behind the chest pains he complained about. Plus he had knee and shoulder injury. Both his agent and team arn't saying anything right now. This guy acted really dumb, but it would be a shame to see a career to end over this. On this page is a video of him riding the bike and of the crash scene. http://www.woio.com/Global/category.asp?C=4398&nav=0rd3
