ASRA - Australian Skateboard Racing Association

Just for the Groms who dont seem to see the need to wear helmets, I am interested in people answering the following (I would like to make it a poll, but that doesnt seem to be an option).

 

Please choose from:

  • I never wear a helmet and have never hit my head
  • I never wear a helmet and have hit my head
  • I always wear a helmet and have never had a use for it
  • I always wear a helmet and It has saved me
  • I always wear a helmet and It has saved my life

 

18 months ago my answer would have been:

I never wear a helmet and have hit my head.

 

After the above, I started wearing a helmet...

 

Now my answer is:

I always wear a helmet and it has saved my life.

 

Yep, I headed the warning and it saved my life 6 months later.

This is a story about a severe head injury from skateboarding. This guy will be affected by his injury for the rest of his life. Please read this !

On a personal note I slammed in 1979 and a helmet saved my life ( head on collision with another skater with 4 days on life support... 25 years later I develop T.L. Epilepsy as a result of this injury and  have been taking 3 tablets everyday to survive for the past 6 years and will be for the rest of my life. WEAR YOUR HELMET

Life, not once but twice! I don't fuck around even short rolls I put one on.

I always wear a helmet and It has saved my life

 

Been horse riding for 9 years, always wear/wore a helmet..

I can admit I never hit my head (wrong) except for the one time when I got thrown forward and actually landed head first.. sore neck for a few weeks and a headache, felt really lucky.

 

And for skating I always wear a helmet.

 

helmets are Rad and they have definitely saved me , you'd be stupid not to wear one.
