Personally, my family & I use them in all sports where they are available: Skiing, rock climbing, bicycling, and motorcycling.<br /><br />Those against helmets always argue that they don't help in the bad accident. That may be true, but they help tremendously in the "not so bad" accidents. For my family and I, we figure why take the risk?Biker Bettyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17994597212491993059noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17548084.post-9180574087926508322007-01-17T09:31:00.000-07:002007-01-17T09:31:00.000-07:00Can't hear your ski partner?

If you can't hear with your helmet on, maybe you're not wearing the right type.<br />Besides, the vast majority of skiers are (at least for now) frontcountry. So "whumping" is beside the point.<br /><br />P.S. What's with all these negative comments we've been having on the ol' blog? Is it one crank anonymously posting several times?Dave Philippshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06191337335374400457noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17548084.post-65127959828356883492007-01-16T15:00:00.000-07:002007-01-16T15:00:00.000-07:00I suppose that's true.

I didn't no...I suppose that's true.

It also makes it nearly impossible to hear your ski partner warning you about the avalanche that is coming down on you.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17548084.post-82157853525094574832007-01-16T09:20:00.000-07:002007-01-16T09:20:00.000-07:00I came away seeing stars instead of seeing blood 2...I came away seeing stars instead of seeing blood 2 weeks ago at Crested Butte because I had a helmet on. I was strapping in and another boarder skidding up, lost control, and clonked my head with his board. Wouldn't have killed me, but who needs more stitches or another concussion?<br /><br />The helmet was cheaper, too, I'm sure!Dena Rosenberryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06478372114618065938noreply@blogger.com
