It's a scary video where a skateboarder wipes out and falls hard backward onto the asphalt and smacks his head really hard. Had he not been wearing a helmet emergency crews would have been cleaning up brain matter for sure.

If nothing else, I hope you might view it as a lesson as to the importance in wearing a helmet whether you're playing sports, riding a bike, rock climbing, or riding a motorcycle.
