was at the indoor skatepark tonight some dude on a bike goes up the wallride forward and tries to come back down fakie but doesnt crank backwards to ride it out... basically like sticks to the wall and falls striaght back about 8-10 feet onto the back of his head...

it was insane... dude tried to stand up and made it about half way then just collapsed to back down to the ground... everyone stopped skating and just freaked and called 911 n shit... and before they get there he just turns into a lifeless blob on the ground... 

well the paramedics finally get there they got him to come back around after like 15 minutes and he stood up and there was a huge pile of thick red blood and i mean huge...  it was running all down his face and neck and shit...

at that point... i could no longer skate cause i was too freaked out so i basically wasted my money...

moral of story... helmets are good... i never wore one before but now im thinking of getting one for skiing...

you may look cool and hardcore without one but theres nothing cool about cracking your fucking skull... i just hope the dude made it he didnt look so well...

there is absolutely no reason not to wear one.  no matter how good you are you will eventually still fuck up your skull.  the head is something you dont want to fuck with unless you are with a chick, but even if you are with a check you still want to wear a helmet for that shit. aids kills

Helmets save lives
  • According to the Bicycle Helmet Safety Institute, a bicycle helmet reduces the risk of serious head and brain injury by 85%.
  • More than 70,000 persons need hospital emergency room treatment each year for injuries related to skateboarding according to the CPSC.
  • Head injuries cause three-quarters of about 900 bicycle deaths each year, according to the Bicycle Helmet Safety Institute, a helmet advocacy program of the Washington, D.C.-area Bicyclist Association.
  • Another 82,000 people suffer brain injuries each year while playing sports such as baseball and football, etc., according to the Brain Injury Association in Alexandria, Va.
  • Brain surgeons and doctors across the U.S. agree that wearing helmets can save lives.

or i'm one to make jokes, you dumbass.  go buy a sense of humor, retard.  how could you NOT tell that was a joke?  go eat a bullet, you dumb fuck.  if you couldn't tell that i was joking, you're too stupid to contribute anything positive to society, so stop sucking up our oxygen and wasting our water and just go jump off a cliff.  it was CLEARLY a joke and you're a retard snacking on lead-based paint chips if you couldn't see that.

I always wear a helmet and I don't quite understand why people still don't wear em...they aren't uncomfortable, they don't make you look like a tool, and they don't impede your skating or skiing or whatever you do...I personally don't wear any sort of padding other than helmets just because they are uncomfortable, they make you look like a tool, and they do make some motions harder but with how much a helmet can save you, and the fact that there is really nothing bad about wearing it, I would never skate without it...

ALWAYS wear a helmet, especially skiing and biking.  ive had my life saved by them many times.  a hundred bucks or so is a small price to pay to live to takke another run

I think you should go look up what danger wanking is before you take it as name calling.

i always wear one, it's senseless not to. and helmet designs get sicker every year, it's hard to look dumb with one these days, so why risk it?

i wear a helmet because ive had somewhere between 3 and 6 concussions, cant even remember, and if i get another i may end up retarded, or may not be cleared to ski, play lacrosse, football, etc. ever again.
