Skateboarding, Helmets, and Control: Observations From Skateboard Media and a Hong Kong Skatepark

Skateboarding, Helmets, and Control: Observations From Skateboard Media and a Hong Kong Skatepark:

Lots of people aghast at Olympic skateboarders not wearing helmets. I feel like I should mention that the original Panhellenic games were performed in the nude, so many of these skaters are overdressed if we want to keep in line with the real authenticity of the Olympics.

I make jest, but its poignant to see neuroscientists tweeting their concerns.
