And the Rolls of Rolls-Royce was killed in 1907 when, before the days of seat belts, he was thrown up while flying and had his skull punctured by a bolt protruding down above the pilot's seat. The Rolls-Royce badge had been red. Thereafter, it was black in his memory.

And still there are states in the US where helmets are not compulsory.
Praise Darwin ;-)

This summer, in upstate NY, a boatload of motorcyclists held a "protest ride" and rode without theirhelmets.

One of the riders crashed his bike, hit his head and died.

Darwin at work.
