Matt's right though, he would still be alive today if he was wearing a helmet.

Probably not but it could easily happen..... helmets are a real sensible option when bocking on conrete/tarmac and getting serious air.

Post by: Ogi on May 01, 2007, 05:05:38 PM: What helmet(s) do you wear? Models etc. I quite like the look of a BMX/Skateboarding helmet but don't use any at the moment but I do have a spare MotoCross helmet!!!

Post by: webmaster on May 01, 2007, 05:29:48 PM: Skate helmets are best. Another option is the d30 helmets as can be seen here http://www.i-trip.co.uk/subcat/254/Ribcap.htm

Post by: Locky on May 01, 2007, 08:49:23 PM: Skate helmets are better and NOT cycle helmets.

Skate helmets are designed to take more than one impact, bike helmets are made to fall apart after an impact.

Post by: sprog on June 02, 2007, 11:37:17 PM: I'm with Uncle Matt on this, ALWAYS wear a helmet. The only time I don't wear mine is in the gym, because it's all nice and soft! :D

Post by: t r o c on July 06, 2007, 05:36:11 PM: I use a skate helmet. They look cool and protect your head.
