    Philip Contos Killed by Skull Fracture During Mandatory Helmet Protest Ride.

    http://www.digtriad.com/news/article...Helmet-Protest

    Police say a man died while riding his motorcycle during a protest against helmet laws in upstate New York Saturday after his bike flipped and he hit his head on the pavement.
    [...]
    Contos was taken to the hospital and pronounced dead after arrival.

    Troopers report Contos would have likely survived if he had been wearing a helmet.
    Somehow, I don't think he ended up sending out the message he had in mind.

    Also, if there's a god, he she or it has an even more macabre sense of humour than I do.

    Yeah, I'm thinking the ultimate message is "Put a fucking helmet on, dumbass."

    BTW, just for the record, my friends and I all rode motorcycles or ATVs when I was growing up. None of us wore helmets, but our speed was pretty low and the surfaces were gravel or sand.

    I'm guessing there are a bunch of pro-helmet activists feeling very conflicted right now...


    Ahhh, ATVs damnit I miss having an ATV. I admit the helmets are rather... restricting in my experience, yet still a step up from potential head trauma and a guaranteed high speed bug buffet. Mmm! Flies!

    Today, just a little while ago, I ran across an article online about an old friend of mine who's just been critically injured in a motorcycle accident - no helmet.

    Yeah, wearing a helmet does suck and it messes up your hair but I believe they can help keep you alive

    That kind of screwed up the protest. Helmet or Veggie the rest of your life. Seems like a simple solution to me!

    btw, @OMalley, so sorry about your friend.

    A helmet messes you hair, without one it messes your skull. I'll go with bad hair.

    I have to admit, I did snicker quite a bit when I read this story. My husband flat out laughed his ass off.
