scotjonscot....My Best wishes for your friend's brother, your friend, and yourself. I hope things turn out for the good.
Ignore all the posters who didn't have the decency to offer up a bit of sympathy or empathy your way. I've been reading CV for quite a while and am shocked by some of the responses. In no way did I see any such implication in your post about preaching the gospel of always wearing a helmet while riding. You stated your personal position on the issue and wished the rest of us safe riding. I thank you for your thoughtfulness in doing so.

He wasn't wearing a helmet and I don't know what difference it would have made, but I doubt it would have made things worse. I don't always wear my helmet, but maybe I'll start. At any rate, stay safe!
