[Roller skating accidents as a cause of intracranial bleeding].

The number of roller-skating accidents has increased in recent years. A new type of "in line" roller-skates has been introduced to the market. We present two cases of intracranial bleeding resulting from accidents using "in line" skates. In one case the brain injuries were fatal. A helmet could probably have prevented or diminished the injuries. We emphasize that a helmet should be part of the correct protective gear in roller-skating.
