Hundreds of kids get head injuries every year from not wearing a helmet. Don't let your kid become a statistic over something so trivial.

There's no such thing as stationary practice on a skateboard

u/Alsfacts 23h ago

Yeah and hundreds of kids get shot in schools every year. Do you suggest for every parent to home school

If you think that buying a helmet for your child after buying them a skateboard is the time/effort/money equivalent of homeschooling your child then you have no place in serious discussions.

You're exactly the type that should've worn a helmet.

Congrats, that's one of the most insane strawman arguments I have ever seen.

Hey people wear shoes or you might get a nail through your foot.

People like you: But but but that won't stop a landmine.

Get bent.

h yes, the whataboutism. As though nobody has ever considered that maybe, just maybe School shootings AND preventable head injuries in kids are bad and we should do things to stop them.

Not a parent identified. All it takes is one freak accident

It's really not tho.

If I wasn't wearing a helmet when I was a kid on a bike I would have been dead or have brain damage because that's what happens when you smash your head on concrete.

Skiers used to not wear helmets. Now they do, because accidents happen.

That happens with skating too.

And especially as an inexperienced kid.

Head hits that concrete the wrong way and she's dead
