Skiers and snowboarders account for an ample crop of very young and healthy organ donors, in far greater numbers than do motorcyclists. - Holly

That may be due to the fact that even now, helmets are not standard and accepted ski-wear, whereas many motorcyclists now wear helmets.

As an aside, the entire time I was in Hawaii I noted that not one motorcyclist I saw was wearing a helmet. Also, the only bicyclists who appeared to be wearing helmets were clearly tourist types.

It doesn't matter how you mash the bean as long as the organs still work.
