Head gash with full face helmet

Yesterday a group of us were riding and Texan33 and myself were attempting barrel rolls off boat wake. Both of our chinpads came off but we kept trying. Both of us were wearing 661 full face helmets. The last one he tried the steering plate caught him right above the eye on his forehead and split his head wide open. He had to get stitches. This kind of make me want to get a lacrosse helmet now. On a good note he was on his sxr and almost had a full rotation. The worst part was when we came back to shore this drunk lady was standing there yelling at us for speeding through the no wake zone to get him to shore. She was going off on how we had gas cans by our stuff saying that it was a bomb waiting to go off and how we almost knocked her grand kid in the water. All this was going on while Texan33 was bleeding all over. Then she talking about how we had a few empty beer cans and were all underage and going to jail though we are all of age and clearly weren't intoxicated like she was and driving her grandson around on a speedboat. I will post a pic of the head gash as soon as i can.

That is gonna leave a mark....

Have seen this before with MX helmets, Lacrosse helmets are the safes way to go
 
i was riding with the group. it was crazy how much this drunk lady was going off. after HOURS in the ER with him we got him home. its going to leave a mark is an under statement. lol my recently purchased shred ready helmet may go on the shelf after all this and a lacrosse helmet may be ordered.
 
I will def not be trying rolls again if my chinpad comes off. I have ripped the rivets out the past 2 rides in a row trying rolls. Now i finally ziptied the hell out of it to get me through the rest of this season which wont be much longer

I'm a living EVIDENCE why everyone should have a chinpad on their ski. I have seen a lot of people ride without a chinpad. I'm pretty much done for the year. That woman was completely out of control.... Plus, you guys forgot to tell about those gay guys on that yacht we're jumping the waves from. They were wacky and hooting at us.....lol








SERIOUSLY, Everyone shouldn't be riding without a CHINPAD.....

Good work... at least you got your scar from doing something cool.

Seriously though, thats crazy. Glad you're ok-ish. Did you black out or anything?

Probably a good thing I wasn't there with the crazy drunk lady.

A 12 pack of Millet Lite and it will be all better. Still gonna have a scar, but it'll be all better. Also Mid to Westcoast riders require a chin pad. I had a chin pad but no helmet and ripped 4 inches of my scalp off. Hope ya feel better
