Helmets Urged For Children On Sleds

Doug Satterfield remembers the crash as if it were yesterday.

"I was 7. For some reason, I decided to sled backwards. I flew off a cliff into and fell into a pile of firewood," said Satterfield, 56, the owner and manager of Rollier's Hardware in Mt. Lebanon.

Satterfield, who fractured his skull and missed nearly a year of school, still has a metal plate in his head as a result of the accident. So when he saw last year that sledding helmets were available, he jumped at the opportunity to stock them in his store.
