Yeah, I thought that the accident looked a lot more serious than we were led to believe...

I'm glad he made it.

He knows what mistakes were made, so as a rider, I'm not going judge him.

Pardon the pun, but he doesn't need any "armchair quarterbacks".

He did, however, remember what he was told by people at the scene.

"They told me that I was literally seconds, maybe a minute away from dying"

Boy, I sure hope if I am ever in an accident, that these people aren't at the scene of my accident.

"I have no concerns about Ben," Cowher said backstage. "He's going to have to get hit a couple times to see if he's all the way back.

Don’t put him on a bike, Bill, to get those hits.

;-)

the accident when he rammed his motorcycle into a car that was making a left turn in front of him

How does a driver making a turn into the path of the motorcycle become Ben's fault? Did Ben intentionally hit the car?

Ben, when you are on a bike without a helmet, you are always seconds from dying.

"They told me that I was literally seconds, maybe a minute away from dying because I slit a vein or artery in my mouth or my throat and it was draining blood right into my stomach and luckily the paramedic noticed it and stopped it or else I would have had too much blood in my stomach," he said ...

How does blood "drain" into one's stomach? You'd need to swallow it first.

I would assume the paramedic used a tourniquet.

I dunno... if this had been the case I can't imagine the press around here not finding it out.... Lets face it, that was the biggest news story to hit pittsburgh in a LONG time... every hound in town was selling their soul to scoop on this one.

Thats why I quit riding both my bikes here in South Florida. Other drivers have NO respect for a bike. Besides, I want to live long enough to watch the black and gold win another Superbowl this year :)
