Hey guys, I'm all for my liberties too; But before you go without a m/c helmet or seat belts call down to your regional trauma center and they will be more than happy to have you shadow the flight crew and er staff for a few nights/days whenever you can...

Talk to the flight crew about accidents. 20 yrs and I never cut a Dead body out of a belt, can't count the beltless ones that wound up on road, in fields, even in a tree.

Stand with some er doc who has been on duty 15-22 hrs while he tells mom and 2-3 kids there dad got t boned by some idiot went out the window and they shouldn't go in to see him for a final goodby.(because he has little face,head etc left)

I'll bet ya $100 the doc will be on the phone checking on his kids/family within 20 min of this too

Get a close look at the bikers brain. The one without helmet who just clipped the door mirror of that car that pulled right out in front of him.

Sometimes it is our choice how we die. Its unfortunate that people who have to deal with it afterward did not get any say in the matter.
