[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]For a teenager- no. If it was a kid under the age of 12 or so, its okay, though I don't think it's really needed. I learned how to skate at the age of 5, spent my life growing up in and around rinks, took some hard falls over the years, and never once used a helmet. I think the use of a helmet to skate is a bit of overkill personally, and seems to have become a trend over the past 10 or so year , along with the whole helicopter parenting thing; most people when they are learning to skate just end up on their rear ends or on their knees if they do fall.

I never once wore a helmet skiing growing up. Doesn't mean my teenagers don't wear them now.[/quote]

I haven't been to a skating rink in decades but this came to mind. I never ever wore skiing helmets until I was in my 20s and returned to it after living in the south. And everyone was. It's at least 99% of skiiers and riders wearing them now and it's amazing to me when people don't.

Maybe it will shift that way with skating, maybe not. But I'm def putting bike helmets in my early elem kids when they learn
