I Love Helmets

Why it was recommended

If you're moving quickly and could impact the ground, is maybe a better phrasing. Check out this skateboard wreck I saw posted on reddit a little while back. [VIDEO] A person in the thread (so value accordingly) said they worked in an ER and their estimation of the result of the impact, were there no helmet involved, was "likely death." Also, as kazinator said, helmets are only good for one crash (or even drop from very high off the ground). Get a new one!
