A biker in upstate New York who was participating in a ride to protest helmet laws died after he crashed his motorcycle and hit his head, authorities said.
Philip A. Contos, 55, was killed on Saturday afternoon during a ride in Onondaga when his 1983 Harley skidded out of control and he flipped over the handlebars, the Post-Standard reported.
Contos was riding in a "helmet protest run" with a group organized by American Bikers Aimed Towards Education, authorities said.
On its website, the group says it promotes motorcycle safety, awareness and education and organizes motorcycle rides.
Doctors at Upstate University Hospital, where Contos was pronounced dead, said he would have survived if he was wearing a helmet.
