    His brother is a great guy, like when he said he's willing to give up his future life goals to be there for his brother. I pray Aiden will continue to recover so he can somewhat live a normal life with Hope's and dream's. God bless this family

    God bless this family and young man. As a skater, i always wear my helmet and will contribute community helmets to our new park in sandy oregon. I will always tell skaters proud of you for wearing one. I've cracked my helmet falling and i could only imagine what that could do to my head.

    i feel so lucky i never hit my head in all my years of skateboarding. i hated my dad for making me wear a helmet the few times he took me to a skatepark, but i’d do the absolute same with my kids.
    hopefully skateboarding will have changed enough by then that they’ll feel okay doing it themselves rather than me forcing them.

    Not to belittle his altercation but he is gonna be just fine a lot working out and figuring out on your own first then with the help of others . Therapist couldn't help me because I didn't have faith in my bodies ability to come back so my perseverance wasn't there. 13 - 14 years later With only 5 years of pt /ot couldn't get myself walking. It was a start to get me going. Got creative with exercising. Walking now , independent, in college studying anatomy and physiology and I have a job . I'm trying to accomplish everything I was supposed to accomplish earlier on and hope on inspiring others . Came across this video trying to get more function in my fingers .

    The irony of him being forced to wear a helmet in the hospital after choosing not to wear one on his board.
    I'm still dealing with post concussion syndrome 5 years after hitting my head on the underside of a solid wood reception desk. I am NOT going through another bout of concussion without a fight. And my helmet is my shield when I'm riding my board, bike or scooter.
    The people that laugh at me for it probably never even broke a bone let alone got dinked on the skull.

    Helmets do nothing to protect against mTBI's/Concussions. They only "help" limit skull fractures. Brain injuries will still happen because the soft brain suddenly stops inside the boney skull. That is where most of the damage happens. YES- do wear a high quality helmet and make sure it is properly and tightly held on your head (they often fall off.) But know that you are not invincible just because you have one on. In fact, I opine they lead to more brain damage because when you strap one on, complete with the RedBull Logo, you feel like a protected person. You are mostly NOT. People will jump off cliffs and do really dumb things in part because they are wearing some old gear. Gear that, in reality will do very little to actually protect you. It sells gear and can limit the extent of some injuries but if you smash against a hard object, mostly you are done. I hope he continues to improve. Family should learn about diet and healthy fats and meat and no carbs.

The first one likes their brain (Although they might overestimate its value), the second type prefers their comfort vs their longevity, & the third type, with loosely fitted helmet, who don't give a sh... about their usefulness on earth (Could be right about that:). The third type puts up with all the discomfort of wearing a helmet & none of its advantage...Same for skateboarders: Seattle skateboarder slowly improves from traumatic head injury
