[quote=Anonymous]We have a skate boarding park near us in Herndon, and I was driving by there when lots of emergency personnel went by, and the skateboarder ended up dying.  Here are some other stories of losses if it helps persuade your son.

This tradgedy of another Fallen Skater happens far more often than Skaters realize or want to admit. According to CDC, In 2010 over 28,000 Skaters were admitted to Emergency rooms nationwide with brain trauma. That works out to an average of 3 per hour 24/7. Our son 28yo son, Ian Tilmannn suffered a similar fate in 2005 who died from brain trauma while Longboarding with no helmet. There is only one proven cure for traumaic brain injury…it is call PREVENTION. To learn more Google “FREE HELMET” for links to “Helmet for a Promise”. Our hearts go out to Shash’ parents, family and freinds. Such a tragic loss.

For the record, Suzanne Fischer is misinformed.  The “Helemt for a Promise” is up and running and helmets are avaiable. The website is fully operational.
