Does karma catch up with a person? Is there irony in life?
"A bareheaded motorcyclist participating in a ride to protest mandatory helmet laws was killed when he was thrown over the handlebars in Onandaga, New York. The rider hit his brakes, began fishtailing and lost control of his 1983 Harley Davidson. He shot over the handlebars, hit his head on the pavement and was taken to Upstate University Hospital in Syracuse, New York, where he was pronounced dead.
State police say evidence at the scene plus information from the attending medical expert indicated he would have survived had he been wearing a helmet as required by state law." CNN
This story is tragic... tragic in its irony... tragic in its consequences. A man died. Will his fellow protest riders wear helmets... unlikely according to the article. It is uspeakably sad to read this story and to know that this man's life is extinguished. Can good come of it? Of course... all of us who read the story and weep can learn something...
