They never learn.

Proof that not all motorcylce accidents are caused by 'idiots' in cars. There are plenty of idiots on bikes too. Heck for that matter there are an equal percentage of idiots any where you go.

Chambersburg hospital had no info because he was flown to trauma center. His injuries were all severe. He was not wearing a helmet either

OMG this is horrible. I hope the guy recovers. Maybe with a little more sense.

No helmet. No helmet. Do insurance companies pay death benefits when the rider failed to take reasonable precaution to protect himself? Yes, I know the PA law does not require a helmet be worn, but that has no bearing on what the insurance company does.

[Wow]

You are absoulutely right. The insurance should be voided when not wearing a helmet just like the seat beats.

[SuperNerd]

What a horrible headline.

[onewhoknows]

Am I understanding this right? Insurance companies won't pay death benefits if seat belts were not used?

[peanutbrittle]

Ahhh do I feel bad for this guy?

Lemme see ...

NOPE.

Obey the rules of the road, and stop endangering youself and everyone else!!

Get better and grow up.

Who wrote that headline? Back to journalist school!

It's the law. They don't have to wear them, thus the insurance company has no option but to cover them. I saw a local cop leaving work on his bike with NO helmet. His choice, but not a good example.

[EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE EEEEEEEE]

If I am not mistaken about insurance, this will go under his home owners, not his car insurance. I don't believe there is such thing as motorcycle insurance???

[hopeforthebest]

There is all sort of insurance companies that offer motorcycle insurance.

[fatboy]

And this year's Darwin Award goes to......

[yougottabekiddin g]

another idiot on a motorcycle. You should see them tearing up and down Ragged Edge Road between 30 and Walker Road.

[EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE EEEEEEEE]

to fatboy: I apologized for any wrong info. I just found this on Pa motorcycle insurance.

CI, dont feel bad

[its me its me]

I feel bad because someone was severely hurt. Now the manner that he got hurt was just asinine. Bikes are fun but use your head...for thinking not crashing into barriers.

[single and free]

to all of you that are wondering about motorcycle ins ...it covers the bike,other person and your passenger but NOT you that falls under your medical ins from where you work or quite possibly your homeowners but more likely than not your car ins will not cover it.
yes i am a biker myself and yes i do wear my helmet but that is my choice to do so.

[A truck driver]

I think it is a big surprise that noone is blaming the truck driver, since it always seems to be our fault any other time there is an accident. At least that is the way it is projected through comments and other media, almost all accidents are do to something the truck driver did/didnt do.
