Getting hit by cars.. A profitable decision or tragedy?

I feel this post is necessary after seeing a local Eau Claire fixed gear riders new bike today. As some of you may have known, he was hit by a car sometime last week and the women agreed to buy him a new bike... Well here it is.. A brand new EAI Bareknuckle.. Doesn't stop there.. what about the Sugino 75 bottom bracket and cranks? Hardly jealous I suppose, I mean my Madison will suffice, but for free? Same thing had crossed my head when my friend was struck and ended up getting missed work compensation and a brand new wheelset worth 2 times the amount of the orginals. Ah.. Maybe I should reconsider this whole work thing and just ride my bike more recklessly.. Eh.
