On special days like these, sometimes there is a story that just puts me in a good mood. Like the one about Philip A. Contos.
Police say Contos, 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 55 year-old was driving a 1983 Harley Davidson with a group of bikers when he hit his brakes and the motorcycle fishtailed. The bike spun out of control, and Contos toppled over the handlebars. He was pronounced dead later at a nearby hospital.
Naturally, state troopers say Contos would have likely survived if he had been wearing a helmet.
