when I get my motorcycle, I definitely will! Hell, I think any EMT or Paramedic caught riding without one should have their cert taken away.
Anyways, hard to believe that guy survived. I was sure he was dead from the way he was hanging there. Just as a spinal immobilization question, would you remove the helmet or tape it down to the backboard? Those things are on tight, I'd think taking it off would compromise his spine.

that is easily among the top ten most ridiculous things i have ever read on this forum, and you have some really stiff competition.
for one thing, theres absolutely zero correlation between a personal risk i decide to take off duty and my professional career. we're not talking about heroin or unprotected sex, both which extend theoretical ramifications from off duty time into on duty time.
second, what about state where there is no helmet law(new hampshire jumps to mind). you;re saying that, because someone ahs a certain job, they should be subject to a law that no one else in the state is?
do you actually know anything about helmets and how they relate to tbi's and sci's? i suggest you look into the actual statistics and case studies.
for the record, it is my personal position on the matter that i would rather be pronounced on scene because i wasnt wearing my helmet than living the rest of my life as a quad/para with all the lovely parts of that that go along with it(bed sores, disimpaction etc).

If I recall properly, there were photos of this accident posted to this forum a while ago (~year) then later removed cause of the rules (NOT saying that this is a rule violation (since it's a link to YouTube, i would presume)).
Ouch.
Your right. Thats an old one.
