And today's award for the world's stupidest cunt to die in an ironic way goes to...

An ironic death that one.
He didn't want to wear a helmet because he was one.

Edit: Here's a quote to be taken out of context

"ABATE says it supports 'helmet freedom' in which it encourages the voluntary use of them but opposes their legal necessity."

because although it's superficially lovely, Switzerland is a fucking odd place to live. Like, since it's more or less impossible to get citizenship it's really hard to buy property.

statistically miles out of date. I believe it's much higher these days but of course I can't prove it
But, yeah, I'm probably slightly exaggerating. It's still brutally high for a developed mainland european country with "supposedly" civilised society. Like, it's 15 times higher than England.

Also, I'm not entirely sure about this (I'll grant you it does sound very odd) but a close friend who has lived in Geneva for about 15 years told me that it's classified as suicide if it's your own gun, hence the very odd stats.
