Husband sues manufacturer of bike helmet that didn't save wife

The husband of a woman who died in a bicycle accident is suing the manufacturer of the helmet she was wearing at the time.

Eric Singer says that on May 18, 2003, his wife Donna was wearing a helmet that was made by defendant Giro Sport Design.

The complaint states that Donna Singer was riding her bicycle on a track in Millington, Tennessee, in conjunction with the Memphis in May triathlon, when she fell and the helmet "made contact with the track surface."

The complaint further states that the helmet was in an unreasonably dangerous condition because it was, among other things, "designed and manufactured with an improper and unsafe suspension system that provided inadequate separation between Donna Singer's head and the liner under reasonably foreseeable circumstances." 

As a result of her injuries, Donna died on November 8, 2005, the complaint states.
