It's becoming more and more commonplace to spell out the activities the athletes can't do on the contracts. I know from watching Sportcenter yesterday that the NBA had a spree of that when some dude wrecked himself. I'm sure it will spread to the other sports as these things continue.
And, as an aside, anyone who is on a motorcycle and doesn't use a helmet is a fucking moron. If these people can't be bothered to think of their own safety, they should think of all the people affected by an injury should they have one.
