[s-cars] Schumacher in a Coma after ski accident

[Mike Sylvester]

While we are all saddened by Schumacher's accident, we also have enjoyed
the fact that he took risks.
He wouldn't have been the best F1 driver if he hadn't.

Every decision you make has a risk/reward relationship.
There are very few choices that are low risk/high reward.

For every anecdote about an unfortunate sole that was permanently
injured in an accident there is a story of someone who never did
anything in their life, dying old but miserable.  Which is worse.
 
Avoid the high risk/low reward, but live your life.

The helmet broke on impact. This sadly reminds me of my good friend's un-helmeted father's bike accident. He went from an athletic tenured Chemistry Professor at a well regarded state university to about a hobbled three year old with a short term memory of oh, about thirty seconds, and he's been that way for the last eighteen years. This frightens me, although my life circumstances has made me pretty well give up downhill skiing (cost, travel, need for upgraded bindings) I am still an avid Nordic skier, downhills included and I love to let the skis run. This could well have me rethink how or where I go on the attack on my skinny skis, or bike or whatever. May have to stick to hiking as mortality becomes more and more evident.
