Re: [RC] re: race to the finish (helmet) - scswag

Good response. I spent 8 years visiting a Nursing Home to see my mother. During that time I saw a few brain injured people from different types of accidents. It's not just the person who is injured who suffer it's friends and family. Thank God for the wonderful caretakers because after awhile the family and friends disappear and it's the employees who take care of the patient. It takes a split second to crack your head and loose everything. A helmet help can prevent years of suffering.

Easy to say, since she didn't have a wreck in that race to the finish
line and her friends, loved ones, and spectators didn't have to see
her brains bashed out and deal with a disabled person the rest of
their lives or attend a funeral. The rest of us didn't have to deal
with the burden of her health care costs over and above whatever
insurance she has, etc. Yes, she is an adult and it is her choice,
BUT her choices don't just affect her...they affect us all. Cindy
