thedailywhat: Darwin Award Winner of the Day: A man taking part in a protest against mandatory helmet laws died after losing control of his motorcycle and striking his helmet-less head on the pavement. Parish-resident Philip A. Contos was riding his 1983 Harley Davidson along Route 11 in Onondaga, New York, with members of American Bikers Aimed Towards Education, “a safety, educational, charitable and advocacy motorcyclist organization” that opposes “laws mandating use of helmets at all times by all riders.” The attending physician who examined Contos’s body told troopers that the 55-year-old would have survived the crash were he wearing a Department of Transportation-approved helmet.
