...Cruel Irony
Irony is sometimes harsh, cruel, funny or all 3. I recently read a story about a man named Philip A. Contos of Parish, N.Y. He was not a fan of New York's new helmet law which requires motorcyclist to wear a helmet when riding. He and some other motorcyclist decided to protest this law by riding their motorcycles without their helmets. Well somehow Mr. Contos hit the breaks, the bike spun out of control and he flipped over the handlebars of his 1983 Harley Davidson. His head hit the pavement and the paramedics were called. He was pronounced dead at the hospital. Though you can already see the irony in it police said that Mr. Contos would have likely survived if he had been wearing a helmet. Cruel irony, you crazy S.O.B. I am giving this a Digit Up because it is a warning to the other riders and a teaching tool as well.
