I see no point in speculating about his age or helmet
habits. Neurological injury is a particularly sensitive topic, I think
we should respect that, stop speculating, and just wish him a full and
speedy recovery.
Excellent path, which I am yet following. Thank you


I'm keeping my posts to these threads entirely respectful, too (in
spite of my impulsive nature and people bringing up some generally
contentious points).

(Still sending out those positive waves... )



I've already vented tonight on another topic but this is too
personal for comment or speculation.

Something don't add up here, and I think it's because of a taboo in
rbr,
a word no can mention or they'll be scorched by the others, but I'm a
brave and don't give a damn about what the sheep think, so I'll say
the
word, "helmet??", so there I did it.

OMG. You're not supposed to talk about that. The times I've seen Jobst
out riding he was not wearing a helmet, and that was his choice. No
one
has stated whether or not his accident involved head impact where a
helmet would have been beneficial.

But you're correct, there's kind of a taboo about using the h word
whenever some rather famous non-helmeted cyclist is injured or
worse.
The same thing happened with Ken Kifer.

Strictly looking at helmets as a personal decision, one can or cannot
wear one. However it never is a strictly personal decision as a head
injury can leave you incapacitated. And then you become a burden on
others such as your immediate family.

Good point and one I agree with strongly. Sure - it's someone right
but others or society have to pick up after them.

I can relate. Broke a tib once. Compound fracture. Full length cast,

traffic island and the pole that is mounted in it.

Sounds like Jobst has some other complications. Nasty business. Hope
he makes a steady recovery.

JS.

I have not seen any suggestion that Jobst suffered a head injury. Does
anyone know different?

Heal up quick Jobst summers coming!
