Nurses: Would you ever own a motorcycle?
There are 13 pages full of comments from RNs about this. Many not only had patients with broken pelvises, brain bleeds, lung contusions, etc, but loved ones as well. There's still a lot of yes's, though!
My take? I wouldn't unilaterally be against owning one, but I'd only use it on side streets and cruise slow. Anything else is asking for death, or a trach and peg tube—helmet or no helmet. So I guess I'm really talking about a Vespa or a scooter.
Or this seems relatively safe:
I not only would NEVER have a motorcycle, I talked my husband into giving up his. Instead,I have convinced him to buy the most expensive golf equipment out there, a hot tub and a VERY expensive theatre room in which he can do motorcycle racing (plus other things!) with is PS3...he doesn't miss his motorcycle at all.
