May God have mercy on him.
That being said, NO MOTORCYCLES, NO SKYDIVING, NO RACE CARS, NO GUNS, NO KNIVES, NO PICK UP BASKETBALL GAMES, NO EATING BLOWFISH AT JAPANESE RESTAURANTS, AND NO DATING PARIS HILTON.
If there are clauses like these in his contract with the Steelers, shame on him. If there aren't, shame on the Steelers.
Roethlisberger injured in accident

Steelers quarterback Ben Roethlisberger suffered a serious head injury this morning after his motorcycle collided with a car on Second Avenue near the 10th Street Bridge, police said.
Roethlisberger, who was not wearing a helmet, collided with a Chrysler sedan shortly before 11:25 a.m. and was thrown off his motorcycle, flying headfirst into the car's windshield "with a pretty good force," said a veteran city police officer.
Roethlisberger was taken to Mercy Hospital, said a Steelers spokesman, who declined to provide other information.
The car, which has Maine license plates, was turning left onto the 10th Street Bridge from Second Avenue and Roethlisberger was driving straight on Second and apparently was not looking when he collided with the car, police said.
Police closed down the bridge, Second Avenue and the Armstrong Tunnels.

I hope this does not end his career, but that subject should not be on anyone's radar yet. Please pray that he lives and that he will walk again.
The bottom line, kiddies? No one is indestructible.
