Designing a new "cool" skate helmet. Something not as cumbersome as the current models out there. It might not be as protective; but it will be better than nothing. Growing up, my dad was really into bike racing. We'd go to his races and watch the tour de france on tv. I remember he had different helmets. One was like a spider web with leather wrapped foam. I'm picturing something like that. Lightweight and breathable. Maybe it could even be hidden within a beanie. Or a hoodie.
Last week, I had to attend the funeral of a good friend. He passed away after falling and hitting his head skating at the local park. 5 years ago, the same thing happened to another friend.
Maybe it's time we all start pulling an AA and protect our noggins.
Of course, after designing this, I'll need to find someone cool to endorse it, if its ever to catch on.
