Dude seriously dont listen to ski patrol they know shit i swaer to god all they know is how to make cardboard splints
i fucked up my ankle 3-4 weeks ago and the guy said it was just a bad spraing so i walked on it for a week but then it started swelling up and i couldnt feel my foot so i went to the hospital and it was a severe break focused on the bone that holds my weight.....

it depends on how old your helmet is. After a few years, the foam in helmets eventually loses some of its bump-absorbancy. For example, my helmt is kind of old, and I def need a new one even though it isn't cracked or anything. Oh, and nurses are alwyas super protective of their kids because they see people with broken bones like every day and pretty much every injury possible

yea like 99% of helmets can only take one good shot to the dome peice like that, i mean its a still a hard plastic thats gonna protect u but if u had another bad crash or seomthing like all the shock absorbtion or something isnt nearly as strong as it was initialaly, go ask someone who isnt gonna try to sell u a helmet or seomthing, like a head doctor or someone who wears nice helmets and falls all the time

id say go get it checked out by a doctor. sure your moms a nurse and your dads a surgen but i always like hearing the facts from a doctor, thats just me though. oh, and dont go to the emergency room doctors, last year i broke my collar bine and they said to just keep it in a sling, but when i went to a really doctor he told me that if i did that my bone wouldnt set right
