This news story is making the rounds. Here's what was posted on a corvette forum.

Anybody seen someone spread their brains out on the pavement for real?

I was doing some photography back in college and into my frame came a cycle hitting a car. The cycle driver flew off the car (I naturally panned with him) and landed head first on the pavement - his head blasting open like a watermelon dropped from a helicopter.

I was firing about 5 frames per second - not thinking about it, just reflex. Gave the film to the cops.

I was using a zoom lens. I saw brains.

Probably a good idea to wear a helmet. Should it be a law? Well, he did make an awful mess on the street. But nope. Too many nanny laws.

If you don't wear a helmet, you deserve what you get because Darwin's law applies.



Last sentence is blunt and to the point.
