He was wearing a top of the line Bell helmet. Upon impact he sustained a brain stem injury that has left him with zero short term memory and a severly compromised body.

Less than 5 mph. Always wear your gear.

Always.

WOW!
Strange that these things happen!
Some people go 35MPH without protection and survive, and some just fall on the floor from being off balance, and get some serious bruises!

I think we should all take a skating course!
If there's anything, those young guys know how to fall, without injuring themselves (or at least, how to minimize the impact)!
