On July 24^th 2009 Stacey Pierson was charged with child endangerment, attempting to elude and driving with a suspended license. He is accused of leading police on a chase with his 12 year old child on the back. The chase along Interstate 380 near in interchange reached speeds of 80 mph and according to court documents caused “a substantial risk” to the child.

As a parent I find myself asking what was he thinking? For those of you who follow my blog you have to know I have written extensively on bike safety and the need to wear helmets, but when one blatantly disregards the law it puts the driver and the passenger of the bike in even more danger. Helmet or not the faster you go on a motorcycle the greater your risk of serious injury, so again you have to ask yourself what was he thinking?
