[quote=Anonymous]n 2012, thirty skateboarders lost their lives. This report includes two skateboarders who suffered their accidents in 2011, but did not pass away until days or months after the original incident. It is important to note that all thirty deaths occurred in a roadway. Two occurred despite the helmets they wore. The fatalities included the youngest, an eight year old child, who was butt boarding down his driveway and rolled into his neighborhood street. The eldest was a veteran skateboarder and long time mentor, advocate and former shop owner in Chicago, skating to his car. As you read each name please note how the tragic accident occurred due to unforseen circumstances. It is obvious from previous reports (and this one) that the number one cause of death for skateboarders is bodily blunt force trauma caused by a collision with a vehicle, even one as small as a motorcycle. http://www.skatepark.org/park-development/2013/03/2012-skateboarding-fatalities/ [/quote]
