The Brain Injury Association of America wants you to wear a helmet while skateboarding. Who knew there was such an association? Do you have to have a brain injury to join, or do they give you one when sign up? Maybe someone with brain damage chose the name, because it sounds like an organization in favor of brain injuries. It’s obvious that the art director who chose this skateboarding butt shot had a brain injury. “Mom, Dad, I’m going to be on a poster!” – Thanks to Danimal for the photo.

If you get a concussion wearing a helmet, what would the impact have been without it?
I’ve studied Neurology a bit and just finished a class in it. Just wear a helmet, at least some of the time. Fuck being cool, it’s your brain. It’s your whole world.

when i was in the hospital with a brain injury, a doctor gave me stickers that said “trauma nurses talk tough.” i guess they give the stickers out to kids at nurses’ speaking events. maybe they thought i was so fucked up in the head that a sticker would make me wear a helmet.

Danimal sent in this poster because he had a run in with a helmetless injury in recent weeks. Poor guy couldn’t even buy his own ice.

i had dreadlocks at the super loop challenge of 2004, didn’t help, I actually crushed a wooden bead between my skull and the inside of my helmet that day.

Maybe you need a helmet AND dreadlocks….

I was wearing a helmet last night. I fell really hard on my cheek bone and got a concussion. It doesn’t really matter how much bullshit you wear, you’re still gonna get hurt…

Yeah, they picked the ass shot so they wouldn’t
have to pay a fool.
