no, it's the opposite of irony. Irony would be if a person who campaigned for helmets died because he didn't wear a helmet. This guy dying because he didn't wear a helmet was not the least expected; it was the expected outcome of his lack of use of a helmet
He died doing what he preached. I respect him for it in a way. It's his life, as long as he doesn't hurt someone else or expect the rest of us to fix his mistakes, he should be able to do what he wants with that life. Even if what he wants is to be the biggest moron on the planet to be used as a poster child for the "don't be this guy, wear a helmet campaign."

He may be stupid, but he stood by his stupid. I like that.
And you can downvote me.
Helmets are like seat belts. Wearing them can save your life but it should be up to you to put the damn thing on and if you don't, you deal with the consequences, even if that means death. Laws forcing people to wear them are silly (however child seat belt laws are reasonable because kids aren't old enough to make that kind of decision).
