I didn't wear a helmet either. I thought I didn't need it. But I also think there's a bit of a death wish there, too. Like "You know what, if this is how I'm going go, I'm fine with that."
When I was a kid, we used to take huge garbage can lids and go sledding down this steep hill in our park. When I was in high school, a dad ended up dying on that hill. He crashed into a tree! We were all freaked out, but so many spectators noted how he was so happy going that fast down the hill. And I always thought how beautiful that was.
But hindsight's always 20/20. I'm sure he would've wanted to stick around long enough to watch his kids grow up and live for another day on the hills.
