I too am 38 years old and don’t wear one but think I might start. I also rollerblade (very fast) and honestly? besides my old parents no one I know wears one in Florida (or California) but I’m willing to wear one for safety. The only people I see wearing them here are little kids and older folks….

I’m firmly on the side of helmet. Number One Reason: If an accident doesn’t kill you, it could leave you brain-damaged for the rest of your life, Mr. Modine.

Now that I’m an adult (38) and fully aware of my mortality, I wear a helmet…But I didn’t wear one when I was a kid and it was the norm. The generation after mine was when helmets and pads came into focus.
