General Banter / Like Father, Like Son

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.

It's amazing they didn't nail early morning joggers and bicyclists.
