Man dies protesting helmet law

http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/43624650/ns/us_news-life/?gt1=43001

Apparently he fell off his motorcycle and died when he struck his head. Having a helmet on would have saved his life.

looks like the concept of safety got ahead of him

So much irony....

Can't think of epic puns.....

Blaaaargh

Mm.

He was using his head with that protest.

the natural course of survival of the fittest just occured folks.

possible Darwin award i think.

God, it's so hard to resist the feelings of schadenfreude right now.

So much irony....

If you don't wear a helmet, you can die, if you wear a helmet, you can break your neck and live or die. If you wear a seatbelt, your vehicle can crash and you'll burn to death, but if you don't wear a seatbelt, you can crash and your body will be sent through the windshield, all your bones will be broken but you can again live or die. It's just a matter of fate.

I guess he wasn't too headstrong.cd_rom

The irony is killing me.Wakanoid

He may have died, but at least his hair looked good while he did it.

Small price to pay to feel the wind in his hair.

I'm surprised his head wasn't protected, seeing as how it was clearly up his ass.

Does this make him martyr?

The bugs in his teeth never saw it coming.

Every polotician in the nation shared their sincerist I-told-you-sos with his family shortly after.

This is why protesting never helps.

And people said he was hard-headed.

And to think he was going to protest gun control the next day.

He figured that, since he was dropped on his head so many times as a child, doing it off a motorcycle was no big deal.

Looks like he fought the law and the law won... With no effort on their part.JohnF111

Looks like he got killed..... because he didn't wear a helmet..... and

umm

looks like the concept of safety got ahead of him

So much irony in this story

Dang beat me to it!

Talk about learning your lesson the hard way.GAMESHARQ

yeah he wasnt really using his head

lol....

Well, I for one don't agree with helmet laws. I hope others go ahead with their protests.cd_rom

this is what happens when you think you are head and shoulders above the law

I really don't know what to say here. Is it wrong of me to be laughing over this? The irony here is ridiculous. I guess it really is true. You just can't fix stupid. I think all states should make it a law you have to wear a helmet. Anybody not wearing one is being selfish and only thinking of themselves when they should be thinking of all the people they know that would be grieving over their death from them not wearing a helmet. Not wearing a helmet while riding a motorcycle is like drinking and driving to me. I can feel sorry for you when you die. Your own stupidity caused it and I don't feel sorry for stupid people.

This is the result of opposing things that are for your own good.lancelot200

Well stated.

I have nothing against wearing a helmet. I do have something against a law requiring it, though. If they are willing to take the risk then that is their problem.

I have no respect for people who ride without helmets, but it's their body so let them do what they want. They'll be sorry, it only takes one idiot to not see you and you're hit.

oh boy what a-

In his last seconds he was probably like "boy i wish i had a helmet".

Meh, that's too bad. Still, if he doesn't want to wear a helmet, that should be his own problem...

Yeah, it is terriblefor his family, and selfish not to wear it. But, I still feel like it should be a personnel decision, and not a requirement... If you care about your family, you'll wear it, or whatever.
