Pretty sure that's the foreshadowed "shocker" for this season. Robby's going to finish his shift after hour 12 (maybe 13), hop on his bike without a helmet, and eat absolute shit right before the credits. Our ending crisis will be the doctors trying to save him.
I forget the exact statistic, but I want to say you're something like 25+ times more likely to die on a motorcycle vs. car per mile driven. Not wearing a helmet is dumb. Not wearing a helmet when you're an ER doctor who sees the aftermath of motorcycle wrecks constantly? Fucking retarded.

Man I need to find the time to actually watch ER. Didn't remember that shit at all. As a kid I caught random episodes from the early-to-mid seasons when my parents would watch it, and I think the last thing I remember was when Romano got his arm lopped off by the helicopter.

Me & the wife tried watching it. We got to the part where the doc that played Goose in top gun got sick and it was so close to what I had happen that my wife lost her shit. I got tired of the home drama and deleted them all.

Yeah they have to be either planning for Robbie to decide he can't leave the ER in her hands or for her to have some big redemption moment because she sucks.
Gemini says 28x. I think I"ve heard 40 before but regardless Motorcycles are for idiots and no one should be more aware of that than an ER Doctor. When I was a kid there was an ER Doctor in my home town that people said would intentionally cause you pain if you were in there because of a motorcycle crash because he thought you deserved it.

Makes me recall a news story from many years back. New Hampshire was planning on implementing a helmet law for motorcycles, so hundreds of riders did a low speed protest parade on their bikes. One of the guys tipped over and cracked his head and died - was 100% survivable if he had a helmet on

Similar story in Yosemite back in '99. Some dude base jumped off of El Capitan and then was trying to run from the cops who were waiting to arrest him at the bottom and drowned in a river. A bunch of other base jumpers jumped as a protest and one of them died because their chute didn't open.
