Personally, I don't feel totally safe in my golf cart because of the lack of protection. Sometimes car drivers are in such a hurry to get ???, that I've seen several near miss accidents on St. Charles.

BR CAREFUL....no matter what you're driving!

Was he wearing a helmet?

Please post statistics that prove helmets do not provide protection and eliminate death and disabilities for riders. I've been wrong before but hope I'm not wrong this time.

Please reread what I wrote. I will pray for this man regardless of him not wearing a helmet. I did not mean to imply that helmets do not matter because I know they do protect the head in case of an accident.

The man injured has the right to not wear a helmet and is within the law. Do I think its a smart choice, absolutely not. My husband always wears a helmet and when I use to ride I always wore mine.

Its a matter of choice and those that choose to ride without head protection will suffer the consequences in the event of an accident. They know the risk and are willing to take that chance.

tippyclubb..did you read this post of mine? I AM sending prayers! However, the injuries might be different had he been wearing a helmet!

Good to hear he was responsive after the accident. A prayer going up that his injuries are minor and that recovery is soon and full.

I agree! When I see a rider without a helmet I worry about that persons safety.

RIGHT now we need prayers not this & that worry about later. Prayer sent

thanks to those who acted on the idea of praying for a man who might not have been wearing a helmet. If God had no mercy on us for being stupid, none of us would have any hope of heaven.
