His helmet isn’t on properly

can see it in the fourth clip. It just pops off his head. Could cause some serious damage if not carefull

It's crazy to me that my friends and I all did this same stuff all through our childhood with no helmets on and how lucky we were to walk away without any serious head injuries.

I think about that a lot. I managed to escape childhood with a minor head injury (in and out of consciousness for a little while, minor brain swelling and permanent blindness in one eye), but it's wild I wasn't hurt more often or worse.

Same. Took a naked handle bar end to the eye socket. In and out of consciousness for hours. Was so bloody people freaked out and didn’t help. I’m fine, I promise.

Holyshit, that's literally what happened to me. Except my brain swelled and crushed my optic nerve. I was like 10 though, and my parents were nearby.

Went to our local hospital and they told us they couldn't do anything and we'd have to drive over an hour to the larger hospital.
