PSA: You Can Die Hitting Urban

so this is just a little reminder out there to everyone hitting urban and especially younger kids. A good friend and amazing person passed away yesterday due to a brain injury at the age of 19 from hitting an urban DFD. Will had a few beers and his ski came off while hitting a rail. Was a pretty tame fall compared to most and he as well as us didnt think he hit his head that hard. He continued to hit the rail a few more times, went in and had some food and then went home for the night. When our friend went to pick him up to go touring the next morning Will was found passed out in puke and unable to awake. Will was immediately airlifted to the hospital in a coma with brain hemorrhaging awaiting surgery the next morning. He never awoke and was pronounced braindead yesterday afternoon. His 20th birthday is today.

This is the first death i've ever heard of from hitting urban and i think the message should be spread what can happen and how dangerous it really is. He was an amazing skier, not your average amateur and this tragedy occured. He was not wearing a helmet, if he was, this might not have happened. It seems to be that helmets are showing up less and less in urban videos but i please PLEASE urge everyone to think of what could happen if you dont wear one, and do hit your head. This was a huge freak of nature but it proves that shit can happen. Please use good judgment, and wear a lid when your hitting anything, this was a huge wakeup call to everyone around our college and i hope its a wake up call to alot of people. Dont let it come to having this happen to you or one of your friends. Be safe. Brain injuries are the #1 killer in Canada.

peace and love, RIP Will Schooler, you'll be missed by all.

This, even though these stories are awful they make many people a lot more aware of the dangers of skiing and what we take for granted. RIP

are you kidding me? You are a heartless asshole if you believe he deserved to die because he was not wearing a helmet. This is very tragic and sad to hear and you are saying fuck him. Ban this kid for good.

if thats your opinion, get the fuck off this site.  this is a community based forum, keyword community.  If your gonna talk like that, just leave bro.  What do you hope to accomplish by saying "he deserved to die"?  You are an idiot, gtfo

So pretty much we all deserve to die if we take unnecessary risks? Skiing in general can be dangerous, doesnt mean somebody deserves to die for doing it.

You fucking sack of shit, that's not even trolling, that's just heartless and distasteful. Fuck you, YOU deserve to die.

I already left you some feedback and -k, I'm sure everyone else in this thread will be more than willing to help me out, in the very unlikely case that you don't get banned.

Rest in peace. Wear your helmets, kids. I know it may not look as dope as a beanie or balaclava, but being dead or braindead isn't exactly cool either.
