R.E.D saved my friends life

Last night my friend hit his head in a big air comp trying a cork 7. He got knocked out and was taken out in a helicopter. Luckily, he was wearing a helmet. The foam completely broke and most of the shell with it. Every doctor we talked to said he would have died without it.

Let this be a lesson, helmets are good. It's also a testament to the credibility of R.E.D.

A smith holt helped me last season when I knocked myself out. Not as bad as this guy but I retired it after one hard hit. I have a RED Trace now this season.

Just another example of why you should always wear a helmet.

well if he had a moustache as well as his helmet he would have been fine haha. but yeah i think helmets should be made mandatory in all  parks. ++++ vibes i hope he is doing fine and on the road to full recovery.

For real. Im amazed that some people dont wear helmets. There is no reason not to. You will always be able to find one that fits you and your style. Head injuries and freak accidents dont give a fuck how good you think you are.
