Ben Roethlisberger, winner of this year's Darwin award

This quote from an article back in May says it all:

"Bill talked to me about being a risk-taker, but I'm not really a risk-taker," said Roethlisberger, the NFL's Offensive Rookie of the Year last season. "I'm pretty conservative and laid back. The thing for me is to just be careful. And that's what we do. I think every person who rides is careful, and I just think that's the biggest thing. As long as I continue to be careful ... and we never ride alone. We always ride in a group of people, and I think that even makes it more safe.''As far as not wearing a helmet - which isn't mandatory in Pennsylvania - Roethlisberger almost defiantly deflected the question."It's just a choice for me not to wear a helmet,'' he said. "It's not up to my discretion. Obviously, Pennsylvania doesn't think people need to," Roethlisberger said.

What can I add to this but: DUUUUUHHHHHHHH

Of course, I'm sorry he was seriously injured.
