YOUR HELMET JUST SAVED YOUR LIFE!

Good job!

I didn’t wear a helmet and ended up in the hospital because of a traumatic brain injury :(

I love helmets

Sometimes I don’t wear helmets since I’m lazy, but I am never doing it again.

The worst part of this guys day was getting some dirt on his board. not a concussion or worse.

Most of his weight was absorbed on the impact on the ledge. His head barely took any damage at all. Without a helmet, he may have had a small red mark for 3 seconds.

And that's why we wear helmets Gavin

oh my

Is very bad to think that , if you don't wear an helmet / put the seatbelt on
"you're not cool"

With helmet: Board is a little dirty.
Without helmet: Vegetable Life!

A helmet makes the difference between getting back up and saying a casual “whoa, that was kinda crazy” compared to laying their lifeless and unresponsive, followed by being surrounded by a medical team minutes later.

To be honest the only bad thing about helmets is that they don't look good with certain clothing styles like before I started wearing a helmet I would always be wearing cargo pants and baggy shirts and the first time I wore one I looked at myself in the mirror with my helmet and my usual outfit and it looked pretty whack but then I just switched up my style to slim Chino's and jeans and when I looked at myself I thought I looked sick so I've been chilling ever since I hate hitting my head...I do miss wearing those ES cargo pants tho lol

Friday without the helmet I would probably have cracked open my skull. I lost my balance after going down a ramp and fell backwards hitting my head very hard. I have a blow despite wearing it, I guess if I didn't.

I remember seeing this when it was posted

especially th eback of the head the helmet did its wonders on the concrete

Hitting your head to concreate like that and just be annoyed that you got dirt on your griptape kinda says something

Good on ya bro glad you stayed safe keep shredding

GOD LOVES YOU SO MUCH

Skaters without helmets don't have a brain to protect.

This is why you always wear helmets folks

Your also lucky the ledge saved your arms
Don't put your arms behind you, I'm sure you know and it was a last second reaction but as a gymnast especially on concrete watch the arms
Cross them on your chest or leave them out in front of you
This goes for EVERYONE
you could break both your arms in an instant doing it like that
That's not a good day 😅

i think his crainium would still be okay without the helmet look as he braces his fall with his hands at that height i dont think the impact wouldve been severe

Props to the dude for wearing his helmet, and props to his homie for pointing out just how crucial it was.

Those who don't wear a helmet are already brain damaged so whats the point lol

Look at that. You can still wear a helmet being a swagger.

Hard to look cool with a concussion. I'm glad he wears his gear.

And this is how potentially a fractured skull and severe brain injury becomes just a slightly unconfortable bump.

thanks for sharing video! you just helped me realize that I need to for sure get a helmet before I check out my cart. Today, I am purchasing my first eboard from Exway! I have minimal experience with skate boards. thanks for saving my head!

Hitting a car at 30km/h you have 90% chance of surviving. At 50km/h, you have 20%. Really simple example to tell you to not downplay physical impacts

Helmets Are Cool ! 👍
I highly recommend them !

He broke plenty of the fall long before he hit his head. Helmets are essential though.

helmet is a difference between a person and a vegetable

Cheers brotha. Just watched with a 5 and 7 year-old after they asked why we wear helmets at the skatepark.

I love HELMET

My primary care doctors son went from being a sophomore in college honor student to barely functioning and now needing a care takers for life because of a hard fall while skateboarding sans helmet. Wear your PPE even if the chances of a catastrophic accident are low the risk is high. Nothing cool about losing your independence because you thought your "friends" would clown you.

I had a severe traumatic brain injury a couple years ago from skateboarding without a helmet on my head. I heavily encourage all others to just strap on the helmet.

Would of been brutal if he wasn’t wearing that

I don’t even think his head woulda hit the ground if he didn’t have that helmet on honestly 😂

The corner hitting his back looked way more risky

I’m glad In the snowboarding community it’s not frowned appon to wear a helmet so u see a lot more people wearing them.

Not sure if he would have died without a helmet but it certanelly prevented a concussion and skin wounds.

It protects well, but the hit happened due to additional weight on top of the head.
Without the helmet you could just react with your neck and abs to avoid touching the ground with head at all at the cost of taking more impact on the back and shoulders.

But yeah, helmets surely protect from impact force when the impact does in fact happen.

Good helmet

You dont need hard hits with your head on tarmac or cement to kick you out of your normal life.
And i really think, wearing a nice helmet is just cooler and looks more pro than without one.
Its a kind of a stylish accessory.

Oh damn im late xD but this topic never gets old.

Helmets have saved me more times than I can count, I prefer full face helmets though

Dont be a pussy wear a helmet . Only real men wear them.

I see the point.
Batman to risky find something else to do

These helmet videos are incredible and really makes you think twice about not wearing one.

Three friends of mine ended up in wheelchairs or wearing diapers confined to a bed for the rest of their lives due to not wearing head gear. Nobody, and I mean NOBODY think it will happen to them, until it does.

I don't think that impact would have been enough to kill him. Obviously freak accidents can happen, but most likely that would have been a trip to the ER for stitches. Minor concussion at the worst.
