      <description><![CDATA[Mr Jamie Preston, Newcastle, Tyne &amp; Wear, United Kingdom<p>Once a skater gets to the level of skating bigger ramps, they will know how to fall safely.  i.e. rolling out of a bail, or jumping off when a trick is going wrong.  It&#039;s instinct!</p>

<p>Other than large ramps or vert, there&#039;s no need to wear a helmet.  Why wear a helmet to roll down a curb?  Your feet are at the bottom, if anything goes badly wrong, it&#039;s your feet or ankles that&#039;ll get hurt.  Human instinct makes us put our arms out to protect our head.  There&#039;s just no need for helmets!</p>]]></description>

      <description><![CDATA[Joshua Skinner, Lebanon, Illinois, United States of America<p>Why helmets suck...where do I start. Ok, helmets suck because, they&#039;re heavy, throwing my balance off, um...let&#039;s see...they&#039;re cumbersome, throwing my balance off, uh...even when they&#039;re on tight I found that they get into my face and my eyes, throwing my balance AND vision out of whack.</p>

<p>Bottom line, losing your balance sucks, makes you fall, and can lead to injury like a motha. Helmets make it easier to lose it, meaning I fall more, and I&#039;ve tried so it&#039;s true, and I don&#039;t like that.</p>]]></description>

      <description><![CDATA[Dr. Lucas Bos, Lunenburg, Nova Scotia, Canada<p>Helmets are annoying, hot, they get in the way, heavy feeling at times, and falling is half the fun of skateboarding, atleast to me it is. i love skateboarding and hate helmets. And it&#039;s not like i don;t know the consiquence of not wearing helmets either, i had 2 concussions where my head was split open and needed stitches too in the exact same place on my forhead in 2 weeks, and i am fine, i don&#039;t mind injuries they are just a minor set back and like i said, they are apart of the sport.</p>]]></description>
