Ouch!

I was skateboarding with some friends and we decided to race down a 5 story parking garage. I was in the lead with a friend close behind and when I got to the 2 story I was going so fast that I started to power-slide around the whole turn. I began my decent down the last section. Halfway down I noticed a speed bump at the bottom. I decided not to slow down because I thought it was concrete and I would just ride over it to victory. About 5 sec.from the speed bump I noticed it was plastic and had a gap between the bottom of the plastic and the concrete. 3 sec. (yes I counted) I thought oh shit I can't stop this is going to hurt. I hit it went flying (my board completely stopped). I hit my head once and thought ok thats just going to be the extent of the damage, then I hit my head again and finally once more. The last one knocked me out. My friends rode up on me and thought I was dead. I woke up to one of my friends screaming my name in panic. I got up and told them I was fine even though I felt like crap, and we headed back toward the car. Before we got to a car they wanted to hit up a five set. I didn't really want to but they convinced me to. We skated it, and I ended up kickflipping it. After I rode away I started throwing up. It was kind of funny because right before my friend said that was sick. I fell off my board and they carried me to the car, then to the hospital. I found out that I fractured my skull, was stuck in the hospital for 2 weeks, then was bed ridden for around a month. Moral of this story wear a helmet.
