Nope, sorry Tom. The SPECIFICS of poor Phil's fatal injuries were NOT mentioned at all in moe's post. Which leads to the question: How can you possibly say that poor Phil's fate, i.e., his death(I presume you mean) "would have been the same"?



I didn't know Phil personally, but I did ride with him and the Misfits on occasion. I am not against helmets (I wear one almost all the time), but when you hit something at 35 - 45 MPH having a helmet on won't make much of a difference.

Accidents happen and a lot of times having a helmet really does help, but other times it just doesn't matter. In this accident mentioning that Phil didn't wear a helmet just adds insult to his life ending injuries, and appears to give the driver of the car an out/excuse for why the death wasn't their fault.
