This saddens me to no end. Not for the obvious, but for the irony.

"The patrol's report said Byro is not suspected of alcohol use but wasn't wearing a helmet. David Byro, who also has a motorcycle, said he doesn't wear a helmet either. "The accident happened not for lack of a helmet," he said. "It happened because somebody did something wrong.""
I feel very sorry for the family of this vet, laying in the hospital with a brain injury. But it seems lost on the father that had the son been wearing a helmet, he would probably be home today nursing just broken bones. Yes, someone caused the accident, but the choice of no helmet winds up the bigger factor in the outcome.
