They said his legs didnt suffer any injuries. All he got, up to this point, was a broken jaw, broken nose, and lacerations to his head. All of which it sounds like would have been prevented if he would have just wore a fucking helmet. I have no sympathy for him. Idiot.
I hate high profile accidents like this, because I then have to hear about how unsafe riding is from my parents and how gear "wouldn't have protected you anyway." I have to put up with that ignorance and sit through a lecture, and lose even more of the little sway I had with my parents because some famous dumbass wouldnt take the responsibility of insuring his safety to the extent that he should have.
I will say though, I am glad to hear that people are speaking out against him. I always listen to the radio on the way to the train in the morning and all I heard were people saying how stupid he was and how much of a risk he had taken. Given my ride is only like 5 min, but still, its nice to hear people realize that his injuries were largely his fault.
End rant :wink:
