<p>Hi,&nbsp;</p>

<p>Just wanted to throw in my two cents about helmets. I think if possible they should be worn by the kids in our programs. We started doing Skate After School with very limited supplies and no insurance and we didn't require helmets because we didn't have many and we weren't required to by insurance. When we got insurance we had to require helmets and wrist guards for all of our kids. I think that a goal should be to have all of the kids wear helmets but I realize that's not possible for everyone, but as I said.. it should be a goal. We have had a few instances where kids have hit their heads skateboarding and thankfully they were wearing helmets. We can't completely prevent this from happening but at least when it does happen we know that we have done as much as we can (helmets) to prevent serious injury.&nbsp;</p>
