Not wearing helmets has always been the norm for skateboarders… a shame too because even the well experienced are susceptible to the occasional concussion. All it takes is one bad landing and your skateboarding days are over. Wear a helmet people, set a good example for the younger generations.
this always bothered me. i remember when i had an ex who was learning to skateboard and i had to beg her to wear a helmet
I was filming an amateur skateboard competition, and the only people wearing helmets were the professional skaters (I don't know who they were, but it was apparently a big deal they were there) who were doing an exhibition before the finals.
So that's partly why all the kids shows I watched that had characters riding skateboards, put so much focus on the safety equipment.
If the character went somewhere by bike they just go on the bike with no real focus on that part, but if they used a skateboard. You get this whole montage of all the safety equipment being put on, and statements like "safety first" and "always be safe"
