gettin' some helmet

Via Rollergirl Skates' Facebook feed:

We now carry HOCKEY HELMETS!!!!

Some leagues are suggesting these as opposed to the others. Try one out and see what ya think.

Hm.


Hey, what the fuck am I supposed to do with my customized hand-painted glitter helmet? I paid good money for that shit.

Matters of beauty aside, is the move to hockey helmets warranted? Anyone have head injury stats for today's derby? Does anyone even collect that info? I think the assumption is that if you can safely skate a concrete bowl with an S-One or Triple 8 helmet, it's good enough for the track. But is that true? Again, hard to compare without actual data. I won't buy one quite yet. Mostly because that glitter helmet was fucking expensive.
