My son Casey was a bright, fearless 20-year old with a boundless future ahead of him. But in the blink of an eye, he was gone. While out riding his skateboard, Casey fell. He was not wearing a helmet. Our whole family wishes he was. It could have saved his life.

I'm Captain Kevin Raffeli of the San Matteo Police Department. Parents, encourage your kids to strap on a helmet every time they jump on a bike, scooter, or skateboard.

Think of my son Casey and use your head. Put a helmet on. It could save your life.
