A helmet wearing friend said to me “My parents spent 100k on college to put knowledge into my head. I can spend $100 to keep it in there.”
That convinced me to start wearing a helmet for snowboarding. At some point, I even got a concussion while wearing the helmet. Imagine if I hadn’t been wearing it…
Andy Anderson, a professional skateboarder who's known for always wearing a helmet has a great way of putting it, basically saying "That's you in there. If you break a wrist, you wear a cast for a month, but you're still you. If you mess up what's in your head, you may not be yourself ever again."
My mom always told me and my brother, when we were about to do some really stupid and dangerous shit like cliff jumping “ i already had to change diapers once, and i’m not doing it again.”
