Ben Roethlisberger Should Reconsider Decision to Not Become Motorcycle Helmet Advocate

According to an Associated Press article in Sports Illustrated online, Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback Ben Roethlisberger said he doesn't plan on doing public safety announcements for motorcycle or helmet safety following his motorcycle accident last month.

That's too bad. Big Ben was fortunate indeed to survive his accident and could really make a difference by being a visible face for motorcycle safety and taking a visible public role advocating helmet use. Think of the impact he could make by visiting high schools or motorcycle safety courses.

The Scott's Spot Safety Department is unanimous in calling on Roethlisberger to reconsider his decision.
