a friend of mine last night was skateboarding and fell.
he hit his head and fractured his skull.
he got a concussion and could not stop vomiting.
he's really out of it, in the hospital now, undergoing tests to make sure he didn't get brain damage.
he just got engaged and the engagement party is in two weeks.
sheesh.
WEAR YOUR HELMETS GUYS [and girls]

same thing happened to me last summer - only I didn't puke or fracture my skull
needless to say I still ride sans helmet

sorry to hear that
but hey, it's not very clever what he did. never overestimate your own skills.i do mountainbiking, and i know i'm a defensive biker, but i never know what's behind the next curve.
i always wear a helmet. well okay, sometimes wen it's really hot and the road is only uphill for an hour or so...

hope your friend is ok.....a few weeks ago I skated to the quickie mart to buy some beer. Some young dude with a disability cornered me and told me to wear a helmet. He kept on saying it and saying it because he got a head injury just playing football. I told him I didn't need one to just ride to the corner then i skated off, hit a rock a bit it! I really need a helmet.

Helmets are crucial. I had 2 concussion in high school and 2 concussions in college; both from playing ball. Never puked or anything, but knocked out and out of it til the next day for sure. and that was with a helmet on.
I couldn't imagine crackin my bare skull on the pavement.

Helmets are a smart idea. I still see idiots mountain biking without them!!! A couple of years ago I crashed and destroyed my helmet. Possibly saved me noggin, or not.. things havent been the same since. But regardless wear a helmet : )

breaking shit on wheels is what its all about.

I've got a friend who was hit by a car on his bike, fractured his skull in 7 places, and now has a lazy eye and hearing loss. Seeing him in the hospital, barely recognizing me....I'll never not wear a helmet.

I had a pigeon fly into my head, so I wear a helmet to work everyday.
