So i was longboarding yesterday in a spot i go all the time. Next thing i knew, i woke up in an ambulance being told i was about to be helivacced to the hospital. I got CAT scans when i got there, and turns out all i have is a nasty headache and a bump on my head.
IF i had not been wearing a helmet, i probably wouldnt be typing this right now...
so yeah, wear helmets.

I spent a month or so laying on a couch and in my bed with a ridiculous headache to the point where I couldn't really function awhile ago because I wasn't wearing a helmet... I'll never make that mistake again!

even wearing a helmet you can hurt yourself. i had 3 concussions in two months skiing and wearing a helmet. i now have neurologist, and he says i should quit skiing, as did the 3 other doctors i saw.
i suggest wearing a GOOD helmet, something more than 100 dollars or whatever the cheapest ones cost

no its not maybe gay, how the hell are helmets gay?? Kids are sooo fucking caught up in what they look like that they are too cool to save their own asses. I can't believe how stupid kids are these days. Helmets don't even look bad!

I should when I longboard, shit gets going crazy fast sometimes. I do sometimes, but not very often. I need to make a habit of it. It's not worth killing yourself just so you don't have to wear a helmet.
