Helmets skating?

I don't usually unless im learning something new

but again I won't do anything more than an ollie down a 4 stair
 
I dont skate but if I did I'd probably wear a helmet, I'm not tryna give myself a TBI cuz I already have 1 bad concussion under my belt and would rather not get a worse one
 
I didnt use to but as of lately I have. A few weeks back my kid and I were at the local skate park and there was a dude there that was a wee bit younger than I that fell off his board backwards. He was barely rolling, you could tell he hadnt been skating long but the sound his head made hitting the concrete, ugh. I was off to the side grabbing a drink when I seen and heard it, the thud it made, I new for sure he was hurt. I ran over as he was getting himself up, said he was okay but I knew he wasnt. His lady friend he was with drove him away, but since then I have worn one for myself. My head is way to important to get an injury, especially when I can prevent most major impacts by wearing one and me, having a history of concussions too. I use to think I was invincible like others have posted, but I guess I have reached that age where I am more cautious and skeptical of things like this. To each their own, I want everyone to be safe and do what they want to do, just dont criticize others for protecting their goods, now get of my lawn!
 
Dgaf if I look funny . Most of the time I'm either the only woman or the only adult at the park. So I look funny anyways.

And if I'm skating a really big feature or hill or contest, it looks whack NOT to wear one.
 
Frankly i think the "don't wanna wear a helmet" people are limiting their athletic potential because they aren't leaving themselves enough room for safe progression.

Well said. I just took a hard ass fall last night trying to drop into a quarter pipe. Gonna start wearing a helmet from now on

Damn my worst fucking fear. Thx for sharing, kinda reminds me of the Natasha’s Richardson story.

I ain't ever seen you ollie a 4 stair g
 
Helmets are cool, and I would argue that they're coming back into style at least around me. I know a 3 or 4 dudes that have started wearing a lid. It is way warmer tho which kinda sucks but brain function>slightly more comfortable head
