Helmets in Parkour

[hillexallen]

This is the place to discuss helmets in parkour.

Unless you happen to be wearing a helmet all the time, you'll just be throwing your coordination off when you don't have one on.

[hillexallen]

Yeah, I don't like the idea of helmets either. In a real life situation, you will not have a helmet with you, so if your confidence becomes dependent on a helmet, you will never be ready in a real situation.

LOL thats all i am going to say.

[Frenchie]

this isn't a serious thread right?

[hillexallen]

well, the issue did come up...

I'm not sure if msgr33 was actually kidding or not, but it's worth talking about lol

With the recent rise in helmet-enabled movements around the world, I may consider developing a parkour helmet (with ample space for sponsor logos) but as of this time I do not have a functioning prototype. Sorry for any confusion or excitement this may have caused.

[Fyrel]

He was exaggerating the issue to put it in perspective.



In any case, it'd make a good self defense bludgeon if somehow your pursuer caught up to you..... ;)

"This is public property! We have the right to practice parkour here! If you don't let us practice, I'll get my dad to sue your a** off!"

I love how this topic was posted. Ever since I started training, and I've been telling my friends, the first thing they ask is "you're wearing a bicycle helmet, right? I'm serious, you should be wearing a helmet. All it takes is one fall." I tell them how it doesn't make any damn sense, but their common sense trumps my logic every time.
