Step 5: Helmets

Helmets are a must- after all, it’s your brain in there, for goodness sake. Plus, you can put cool stickers on them. I use a boarding helmet, with the removable earpieces. More on helmets later.

i hate those thin ones with lots of holes and stuff. on wipeout i had stones punched through the thin plastic layer and almost 2cm into the Styrofoam. after that i got a skate board helmet and there tuff. 20$ was worth it rather then 10 on a plastic on that took one wipe out to destroy. the skate board helmet has taken so many hits and can take even more

actually all helmets are designed for only one large impact. Everything from motorcycle helmets to ski helmets to skate helmets are only good for one hard hit-- even falling off a shelf-- after that the foam is compressed/cracked and it will not protect from concussion, just road-rash.
