If he has any relation to George O'Leary we might want to check his credentials....

 

[ant80]

All Georgia, IMO... Great talent.

edit: Why does the title say Ohio TE? He's in Florida.

VIDEO: Florida State's Nick O'Leary, grandson of Jack Nicklaus, survives horrifying motorcycle crash - Tomahawk Nation

I just watched this...man that kid is lucky!

 

[dublinirish]

yeah saw it on deadspin earlier, insane! I will say though there is absolutely no reason why a pro/ncaa athlete should be riding a motorcycle. Odds of coming off 2nd best in an accident are just too great.

 

[fightincolts]

Holy ****, he is seriously lucky to come away alive, let alone walking.

 

[BeauBenken]

Wow. Thank God he is ok.

I get what you're saying but you can't put them in a padded room so they never get hurt.

that's why a lot of contracts have specific wording in them about if player gets injured using one that they void their contract...it all came to light when Jay williams from the Bulls got injured and then kellen winslow etc

What the hell was that driver doing in the Lexus? Glad he's ok, that was nuts.

Dunno, but isn't Jack from Ohio/OSU? Maybe that was Nick's original residence? I'm reaching here on why they put him down as Ohio, no clue really.

 

[Irish Insanity]

Glad he's ok. I survived a motorcycle accident that could have and should have taken my life. So many things that are out of your control in life, and when on a motorcycle you have little to no protection.

Here's an idea: STOP RIDING MOTORCYCLES, YOU IDIOT.

He was lucky to survive the first one.

IIRC he got out of that without even a scratch. Lucky is an understatement. You would think that would be his memo to give it up at least until after football.

I get what you're saying but you can't put them in a padded room so they never get hurt.

If you provide the scholarship, you can dictate that they not involve themselves in things that increase the likelihood of catastrophic events. Motorcycles are definitely in that category. You can be careful but that only accounts for your behavior.

That is an intense video.

How long do you think that kids mom spent on trying to clean the shit out of that kids underwear before she just broke down and threw them out?

Doctors love these guys. Call them donorcyclists. Healthy, 20-year old organs trying to hang onto an out of control, motorized pop bottle.

My friend likes to say, "helmets aren't made to save lives, although they sometimes have that benefit. Helmets are made to keep brain activity until the organ harvest is complete"

 

[Irish#1]

Definitely the driver of the cars fault and you can't tell how fast O'Leary was going, but it does point out that there are so many variables that you can't control, plus you don't have the same stopping power and protection that you do with a car.
