Chongalulu Posted April 1, 2021 Share Posted April 1, 2021 1 hour ago, connda said: Getting out of bed in the morning and living life is fraught with risk. Accidents happen. Does that mean you wrap yourself in bubble-wrap and wear a helmet 24/7 because you might fall down. If it wasn't head injuries that it would be an elbow or knee. So body armor is needed, right? So to safely navigate life, one should wake up and don bubble-wrap, body-armor, mouth-guard, and a helmet - oh, and a face-mask, ear-plugs, and goggles. Or you just accept living is a risk and carry on. Or have the intelligence to understand‘mitigation of risk'... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chongalulu Posted April 1, 2021 Share Posted April 1, 2021 No helmets,but masks....? ????♂️ I presume the brain surgery was thus microsurgery... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Freddy42OZ Posted April 1, 2021 Share Posted April 1, 2021 I skateboarded (ramp and street) and did inline skating (ramp and street) from about age 10 to 45 and never once wore a helmet, I sometimes wore knee pads on the ramps. The only safety equipment I always used were wrist guards so I wouldn't break them if I had to use my hands to break a fall. If I could find good inline skates here I'd start skating again.

Ah the one called Pattaya City Hospital not the other central ones, International and Memorial. 9 out of 10 tourists wouldn't know what Muang hospital was Edited April 1, 2021 by scubascuba3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They drive ride motorcycles doing 100 km/h without any gear. So they thought how could I have a problem on such a low speed skating board. "protective gear": good to point out. Bet they didn't count the minor injured (torn up knee/elbow)? Edited April 1, 2021 by KhunBENQ "ride" of course :>) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It might be pedantic, but if they are going to use the English alphabet to represent a Thai word for 'City', they should do it for hospital too!

Cake Monster Posted April 1, 2021 Share Posted April 1, 2021 Note to self. Do not, for any reason enter into any Thai organized Events. Safety is, and never has been, of any importance to the participants Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Elkski Posted April 1, 2021 Share Posted April 1, 2021 This skating trend is being promoted as fun by many IG hotties. They don't wear protective gear. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stargeezr Posted April 2, 2021 Share Posted April 2, 2021 Helmets? Heck even the motorbike riders do not wear them. It is Thailand right? Some things seem like they will never change. Geezer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Someone I knew went to Banglamung Hospital with chest pains, wasting valuable time and was sent on to BHP where he sadly passed. My point is only that some of these places cannot handle some issues.
