Lkr Posted July 3, 2011 Report Share Posted July 3, 2011 ONONDAGA, N.Y. (AP) — Police say a motorcyclist participating in a protest ride against helmet laws in upstate New York died after he flipped over the bike's handlebars and hit his head on the pavement. The accident happened Saturday afternoon in the town of Onondaga, in central New York near Syracuse. State troopers tell The Post-Standard of Syracuse that 55-year-old Philip A. Contos of Parish, N.Y., was driving a 1983 Harley Davidson with a group of bikers who were protesting helmet laws by not wearing helmets. Troopers say Contos hit his brakes and the motorcycle fishtailed. The bike spun out of control, and Contos toppled over the handlebars. He was pronounced dead at a hospital. Troopers say Contos would have likely survived if he had been wearing a helmet.http://news.yahoo.com/ny-motorcyclist-dies-ride-protesting-helmet-law-143217859.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jammin Posted July 3, 2011 Report Share Posted July 3, 2011 I think it's so crazy that people ride them without helmets. It's illegal here to go no-helmet. Who wouldn't wear one, it's stupid not to? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
?QuestionMark? Posted July 3, 2011 Report Share Posted July 3, 2011 But with no helmets law we can weed out the morons... Exactly. It's God's way of thining out the herd. Darwin in action. Eliminate those contaminating the gene pool. Personally, I don't think there should be a law about wearing a helmet. But I also think that anyone who doesn't wear one is an incredible idiot and deserve whatever happens to them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SRV Posted July 3, 2011 Report Share Posted July 3, 2011 I mean if you go flying off your bike then a helmet won't save you at all, but your pretty stupid if you don't want to save your life from a small crash you could walk away from if you were wearing a helmet. It shouldn't take a law for some common sense. What are the benefits of riding a motorcycle without a helmet? So people can see your face?
