Roethlisberger on helmet use

One-year after his motorcycle crash, Ben Rothlisberger was interviewed about his accident and its aftermath:
The 25-year-old Roethlisberger was asked to do public service ads advocating the use of a helmet while riding a motorcycle in Pennsylvania, but declined to do so.

"I think it's every person's decision, whatever they want to do," he said.
Pennsylvania's Motorcycle Helmet law is ridiculous, as is any law that decreases use of death-preventing safety devices, but this guy is lucky to be alive... maybe he still has lingering effects of that concussion?
