Super Bowl Hero in Motorcycle Accident

"Listen to advice and accept instruction, and in the end you will be wise." (Proverbs 19:20)

Benjamin Roethlisberger is the NFL quarterback for the Pittsburgh Steelers. He is the youngest quarterback who led his team to a victory in Super Bowl in February 2006.

Today, Ben was involved in a motorcycle accident. He was not wearing a helmet when his head hit the windshield of a car. He suffered broken nose, jaw, back of head. He also lost many teeth and had injuries to both knees.

Prior to the accident, Ben had been criticized for his preference for not wearing a helmet while riding. But he insisted that he felt "more free" on the motorcycle that way. May be he should have listened?
