You know, they say 60% of the time, it works every time.
You have to assume that most of those fatalities were not DOAs, but were hospitalized for some time in the ICU before passing away. The cost of an ICU bed, JUST THE BED, per night is $10k. This doesn't include the nursing staff, the doctor's fees, monitors, ventilators, therapists, medications, etc. So that number quoted in the study really isn't that far off.
I couldn't agree with you more Phil. I think people should be allowed to ride without helmets if they want to, but that they have to assume full responsibility for this decision and essentially be DNR by doing so. No tax money should go toward helping their medical costs. I also feel the same way about seat belts.
What is this Lee Parks Total Control course? Never heard of it. If it's better than the MSF course and has more advanced courses, I'd like to hear more about it. Could you PM me about it?
