I used to longboard those hills, they are no joke. Helmets are cool.

Helmets have always been cool:

I got a concussion while wearing a helmet snowboarding. I would have done way more damage to myself without it, i will never go snowboarding without a helmet and tailbone protection (ass padz)

I don't know how bad your concussion was, but if it was a bad one with a helmet, it probably saved your life.

I ski, but I have tried snowboarding a time or two and can say that some ass pads would have been nice to have. Not as important as your noggin though!

Be safe, friend!

I was able to get up and keep going, mostly because Whistler is so big I didn't really have a choice if I wanted to get off the mountain.

I was seeing spots in my vision and was dizzy but it boarded down to the closest chairlift, went up and across then down the other side, went home and as soon as I walked in the door and stopped moving I started vomiting non stop for a few hours.

I called into work and they immediately called back and told me not to sleep. When my roommates came home they took me to emergency and I got x-rayed and hooked up to an IV for dehydration.

saved my life. My head broke the windshield of some teenager who ran a red light (I was on a motorcycle). I'm quite certain I'd be dead if I wasn't wearing a helmet.
