when KP was bummed about not being able to snowboard yet then Danny reminded him that it will happen....that little moment brought a smile to my face. WEAR YOUR HELMET PEOPLE!
he's definitely right, they are not only advertising their helmet but saying you need a new one every time you hit your head, i'm calling bs on that one
i had a serious concussion snowboarding this year i was unconscious and i had seizures and i was temporailly paralyzed on the left side of my body and my friends used to make fun of me for wearing my helmet and i would say look what happened to Kevin Pearce without his helmet he would've died and they would say what are the chancesof that ever happening to you and it did. the doctors said i was lucky to be alive and able to walk and function. please wear your helmet people! i ride for Kevin!
I had a pretty bad accident in an indoor ski and snowboard training facility in salt lake where I slammed the back of my head into a wood and plastic ramp at about 30 mph. If I wasn't wearing my helmet I would be a vegetable at best. I am a huge advocate
@CastedSkater13 I hope your friends all wear helmets now. I always wear my helmet, just two days ago my friend said "i'm not wearing my helmet today" and I said back to him "Yes you are" and that was that lol he put it on and we had a great day.
Helmet up 4 sure! People that make fun of helmets haven't had a decent head injury. I kayak off waterfalls, jump stairsets occasionally on a skateboard, and crack my head regularly snowboarding. If you aren't falling, you aren't trying hard enough. Concussions suck a whole bag of ass and they are the least of your worries, not to mention the head bleeds like crazy. Im leaning towards thinking that people who don't wear helmets look like they want to be stupid! ANOTHER HELMET ADVOCATE!!!!
If you hit your head hard wearing a helmet, DEFINITELY replace the helmet. If $80 sounds expensive, try $10,000 just for the ER visit (not even an overnight stay) for my last concussion.
I personally don't mind wearing a helmet at all, It keeps my head warm, matches my attire and helps with anything from bumping my head on a tree branch to falling god knows how far off a jump. Not to mention that most helmets have pockets for earbuds or small speakers in the ear-covers so you don't have to worry about your headphones or earbuds falling out.
i honestly waer a helmet due to personal preference in the case of injury, but what i don't understand is that if they're only made for one impact, then why are they so darn expensive? anymore these days helmets run for around 80 bucks. i feel like more people would wear them if they were at least affordable to almost everybody you know? i understand production cost, but with the price drop, it would balance out, plus, in a way this video is making them seem disposable.
Actually, that's not bs. All helmets are single impact except the Pro Tec B2 helmet, which is the only helmet I know of that contains foam that actually re-expands after an impact.
I messed up my shoulder pretty bad when I smashed into the bullet proof snow last week but if i hadnt been wearing my helmet I dont know what would have happened cause I hit my head and crushed the foam in my helmet and I still have a bruise plus I was doing some stupid ass 180 and caught my edge SO WEAR YOUR HELMET
I got in a serious dirtbike crash about 6 years ago. It obvious that you should wear a helmet on a dirtbike, as i was, however i hit my head on a large rock and dented in my helmet. To this day i cant remember 4 days prior to the crash and four days after. The EMTs told my mom i would have been on my way for an autopsy instead of just a hospitol visit if it wasnt for my helmet. I cant believe the dumbasses i see without helmets when i snowboard. Im lucky to be alive all because i wore a helmet.
Burton is a bit messed up for taking advantage of Kevin's accident for advertising (RED is owned and operated by Burton). I really can't stand that company. It's awesome that Kevin is all about helmets and I think it's great he's inspiring people to wear them, but yea.
I still don't get why many snowboarders in USA/Canada dont wear helmets...It's a law in many countries of the EU to wear a helmet on the ski run at least till you're 16. Only in some regions of Austria each person must wear a helmet.. Allways better.
I had a pretty bad accident in an indoor ski and snowboard training facility in salt lake where I slammed the back of my head into a wood and plastic ramp at about 30 mph. If I wasn't wearing my helmet I would be a vegetable at best. Even today it's still hard to watch my crash even though it happened a month ago to this day. I am a huge advocate of helmets and fan of Kevin. Can't wait to see the Crash Reel and i wear my "love your brain" pin everyday
@CastedSkater13 i ride for nobody but myself and you should to!!! I use kevin's injury as an example to always wear a helmet. Ride for yourself though man, nobody else. There's a Kevin Pearce army in the snowboard community and its kind of annoying RIDE FOR YOUR SELF!!!!!!! Remember what happened to kevin never forget it... but dont ride for him, thats just fucking weird. Just because he cant ride YET doesn't mean you CAN ride FOR him... that doesn't even fucking make sense.
Whenever I see someone out on the park and they don't have a helmet and fall I scream THAT'S WHAT HELMETS ARE FOR!!!!!! And just the other day somebody hit their head on a rail and bled everywhere
Too bad this all just looks like a lame ad for a certain brand of helmet. Somone off camera just happens (sarcasm) to ask whats the best helmet and queue the ad for Red helmet. Exploiding pity much?
my friend is in coma because he didn´t have a helmet when we where snowboarding he hit his head in a rail and my nother friend is in a coma because he didn´t have a helmet when he was biking and they have been for a pretty long time SO WEAR A FUCKING HELMET!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

WEAR YOUR HELMET PEOPLE!
KP is the biggest inspiration in snowboarding period.
I’m showing this right now to my daughter... Thank you Kevin see you on the slopes love you Kevin
I love Kevin.
life changing...
he's definitely right, they are not only advertising their helmet but saying you need a new one every time you hit your head, i'm calling bs on that one

so awesome that he's back on his board!
Scotty Lago is there talking about why you should wear your helmet. Yet, i have never seen him wear one out of competition. GET WELL KEVIN.
Bern helmets are the best in my opinon
I love Kev and all but its proven that POC makes the best and safest helmets
I RIDE 4 KEVIN
kp gave me a volcom hoodie last year cause i was wearin a helmet
I wear a helmet unless cruising..
I just like the feeling of wearing a beanie and cruising around.
I had a pretty bad accident in an indoor ski and snowboard training facility in salt lake where I slammed the back of my head into a wood and plastic ramp at about 30 mph. If I wasn't wearing my helmet I would be a vegetable at best. I am a huge advocate
only vid on utube of the real crash
@CastedSkater13 I hope your friends all wear helmets now. I always wear my helmet, just two days ago my friend said "i'm not wearing my helmet today" and I said back to him "Yes you are" and that was that lol he put it on and we had a great day.
hope you feel better!
not that i know of, i worked at his fathers restaurant pre-accident and all of the times I've met kevin i do not remember him with glasses.

Video footage don't lie Kevin ,on your day you were better than Shaun White , legend
Did he wear glasses before the accident?
The foam compresses and does not expand back out. The ProTec B2 helmet on the other hand, has foam that expands back out
yeaaaa kevin keep golfing and snowboarding brehh doesnt get any better
wooohooo high cascade!!
i always wear a helmet and hope others will 2

The five people who disliked this must have brain damage from not wearing a helmet!
@19BARD85 oh yea the all said they're wearing their helmets this season. i didn't even have to tell them they just made the choice themselves.
I wear a helmet i couldnt give a fuck what people think some helmets look good
is that Kevin's actual accident at 1:36? PLEASE REPLY!!
no
