31-second clip from wakoiii, 2014, of a skater highsiding at speed on a hill and landing on their head. Helmet absorbs impact. Became a go-to reply in safety threads.
Why skaters like it
Posted in new skater threads whenever someone skips a helmet or survives a hill bail. Shows what a helmet does in a real high-speed slam.
“Hill bombs cause more skateboard deaths and serious head injuries than anything else.”

What skaters said on Reddit
Parenting done rad 🤙🤙 But I'm seconding the other commenter who said wearing a helmet would show lots of kids that protecting your brain is cool [VIDEO]
[VIDEO] for the uninitiated
Obligatory post of this clip on a post like this [VIDEO]. I love helmets. Glad you're doing ok dude.
Got it, [VIDEO] Holy shit he couldve ended up dead, or worse, without the helmet. Hell even his neck mustve hurt the next day. Nothing is scarier than having your head whip down after a fall. I just realized that helmets not only help against hits but also shorten your head's travel distance, protecting your neck.
Hill bombs cause more skateboard deaths and serious head injuries than anything else. I’m not one of those guys who think you need a helmet to do ollies in your driveway, but *please* protect your skull if you’re gonna blast down a hill at highway speeds. Be like this guy: [VIDEO]
This clip basically convinced me about whether or not to wear helmets. [VIDEO]
No shame at all. I love helmets. [VIDEO]
yup. gonna get a new one soon. im feeling like this guy [VIDEO]rn
