      A New York man died Sunday while participating in a ride with 550 other motorcyclists to protest the state's mandatory helmet law. 

      Police said Philip A. Contos, 55, hit his brakes and his motorcycle fishtailed. Contos was sent over the handlebars of his 1983 Harley Davidson and hit his head on the pavement. 

      He was pronounced dead at the hospital. 

      "The medical expert we discussed the case with who pronounced him deceased stated that he would've no doubt survived the accident had he been wearing a helmet," state Trooper Jack Keller told ABC News 9 in Syracuse.
