Free Beer & Hot Wings: Skateboarder Smashes His Face on Fire Hydrant [Video]

Skateboarding comes with great risk. So, it's always best to wear protective equipment like a helmet, knee and elbow pads.

Unfortunately for this guy, unless he was wearing a football helmet with full face protection, he was going to get injured regardless.

Watch as he hops on his board and starts heading down a hill, no doubt on his way to attempting some kind of ridiculous trick.

Things don't quite go according to plan for him.
