LANSING, Mich. (June 24, 2009)--A 36-year-old skateboarding enthusiast has died of severe head injuries he suffered while attempting a jump at a Michigan skate park family members said he helped build.
The Lansing State Journal and WLNS-TV reported that Paul Maxim died over the weekend, several days after the crash at Ranney Skate Park where he collided with another skateboarder and then struck his head on the concrete.
Maxim was not wearing a helmet, and skaters who knew him said he never did.
Lansing fire spokesman Steve Mazurek says a helmet would have saved Maxim's life.
