Doctors say brain injury is the leading cause of sports related death in children.
Safe and Sound's Becky Campbell, "See the design how different it is from the bike helmet, a skate helmet is designed to protect the back of the head because when you're skate boarding you fall back and you hit the back of your head."

The free event will be held at the downtown riverfront from 11-3.
