right dudes, i might start wearing a helmet now, earlier this year, i was at my skatepark, and i cleared the box, and i slipped back. my head cracked against the concrete, and i had very bad brain contusion (serious bruise on the brain) i couldn't read anything for the next few hours, and i spent 3 days in hospital... that's how bad it was.. lucky i didn't split my head open.
P.S. I've never worn a helmet...
but my opinion to everyone, even myself.. WEAR ONE!!
