Quote: According to what I read, If he had a helmet on,it seems his injuries MIGHT have been less severe. I'm suprised that the Steelers let him have a bike. I remember reading in one of my ski magazines, an interview with Cal Ripkin, that he wasn't allowed to ski under his contract due to potential injuries.
Most pro contracts do stipulate that players cannot ride motorcycles, go skiing, or anything else considered an "unnecessary risk." But now that he got hurt on his own (not playing football), his contractual salary can drop severely.
