A couple of months back i bought a longboard. I bought a helmet to go with it, and i never go out skating without my helmet. Thank you Aidans family &Andy Anderson for making us aware!
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
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 .
My prayers go out to he and his family. This is so appalling. It’s so sad how one small mistake such as not wearing a helmet can have such severe consequences. Head trauma. Sheesh, poor guy 😢😓❤️🙌
Please wear those helmets!!! My 19 year old son is in his 6th day in coma after an emergency surgery for TBI after falling and hitting his head in a skate park. Please wear those helmets!!!
@@itsvoidd5125 He was in coma for 30 days and then went to a special accelerated rehabilitation center for a while. He is doing well and we are very grateful for it.
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.
@@mikebernhardt92 You can fracture your skull on low speeds and with no extra hights to. I've even heared of one fractureing his skull by falling of his board and later died in hospital. But whatever go and wear no helmet, just don't be around kids as an bad influence pls.
Yeah man I might learn the Ollie maybe the kickflip but I don't want to do stunt and dangerous skateboarding. Id like to use my skateboard to commute and occasionally pop a few tricks
Skater 22 years. Kids, men, wear a helmet. NO COOL SKATER IS GOING TO SAY YOUR NOT COOL FOR WEARING A HELMET! Like my doctor never cared IF I BROKE OR TORE WHATEVER! JUST EVERYTIME, YOU WEARING A HELMET?!
Ripp it Up, man! Been skating since 15 years and today i was told that my Neck is so messed up that i need surgery in 2 days because of the risk of getting paralyzed.. anyway, never stop, keep going, keep pushing! Much love from europe!!!
Late 80's...Kona Skatepark =, Jacksonville Florida. Riding a Kevin Staab Pirate Deck on the "J Run". Had never fallen backwards where my head slapped the pavement before that day and never did again - but that day I did. Had I not been wearing a helmet.... Not good at all. Glad Kona required it that day. Wear a helmet
I know how to fall also, and after my entire life of being very active, i recently just hit the back my head (do have concussion, right ear is like dead and can’t taste or smell) on the street penny boarding down small hill did a dozen times, lil pothole distracted me as my footing was slightly off about to take the turn concerned about traffic all at at once an just crashed, tried back peddling and catching myself but board went under rite foot perfectly and just landed on butt/ back and head whipped back and down, Narley man, absolutely nar
It doesn’t matter that you’re an adult to wear skateboard protection, what matters that you need to wear it because it keeps you safe. Always wear a helmet safety first.
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.
You might think wearing a helmet is ugly an not cool but you will thank your self when you smack your head an feel nothing Instead of praying your not bleeding in your brain 😅👌👌👌
@@tannerrivera319 pretty sure hanging onto a car's wheel well isn't what skateboarders are supposed to do. ESPECIALLY without a helmet. 🙄 But he's dead now. ☺🤗☺

Imagine what his parents are going through. Be safe not only for your sake, but for the people who love you.
All safety and no play makes Jack a dull boy

Bro this made me tear up bro this was so sweet seeing this man get better and better 😭
I was thirteen when I had my TBI then 8 years as an outpatient I’m 1 year away from 60 now I wish you well my love from Scotland 🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧
my name is Aidan this must be a sign I’ll start wearing a helmet
Hes doing much better the most recent update I found was last year and he's already up and running the mile !

Great family and health workers. Together we can overcome the worst.
I got head injured too ,,but now im full recovered cause im meditation, let him try it , it really help
are you sure you are recovered?
Ever heared of helmets? It's a great invention to protect your most valube brain. You should give it a try. And it comes with no disadvantages. ;)
tell your loved ones you love them

After seeing news like this i don't wanna "shred" or be the "gnarliest". Ollies and kickflips are enough for me
You are a brave man
I wonder if he injured his Broca’s area judging by the injury being on his left.
Im glad there was an update.
Keep your head up Aidan !!!
hope he recovers

That must have been one hell of a trick he was trying to pull off. What was he attempting to do?
It doesn’t matter. The smallest trick can result in something like this if you’re not wearing a helmet.
I don’t even skateboard but this made me want to put a helmet on.
are you for real? How do you people not have common sense to wear a helmet auto ? Common sense is NOT so common.
I’m LITERALLY scared now and wanna wear a helmet now and regret telling people safety last🤦🏾♂️, I’m big 🧠
Save your brain, wear your helmet!!!!
How are you doing now ryker hope your well
It doesn’t matter that you’re an adult to wear skateboard protection, what matters that you need to wear it because it keeps you safe. Always wear a helmet safety first.
inter active metronome is awesome for traumatic brain injury. I know from experience. music is awesome medicine
I'm a baby and I'm wearing a helmet 👶 so sue me suckers 🏂 Aiden shall live .
as much as im a skateboarder and havent ever worn a helmet in alm my 20 years of skating.....its so messed up what we do without gear. ...
Why don’t skaters wear Helmets?
@@charleshutson4276 I think it's just uncomfortable for many and the wind in the hair feels amazing or just nice for many.
@@charleshutson4276 nobody wants to admit it but they're just afraid of not fitting in. And wearing a helmet in a video part is just a huge no
Its been 2years any update?
He's unable to live by himself, has severe mental deficiencies, and changed his name because "aiden died on the skateboard" its pretty bad
Save your brain, wear your helmet!
how is seattie now
Most skateboarders that I see at that level do wear helmets.
Michelle South Florida who? I know... maybe 3?
@@40nights40daystv i’ve never seen 3 adults wearing a helmet voluntarily in all my life
Was is worth it to save 30 bucks on a helmet?
It isn't a money thing, it is a "wearing a helmet isn't cool" thing. All the people who wore helmets when I skated growing up got teased for it.
I'm at the plateau point

He didnt think helmets are cool but now hes really cool forever
C'mon man. Don't be heartless. Young men make mistakes.
