I've suggested. I've threatened. I've bribed. But all my threats and even my best bribes never really convinced my daughter that she would be better off wearing a helmet when she snowboarded. She said, and I quote, "it makes me look weird." And it's true - the first time we handed her a helmet years ago, they were still an oddity on the slopes.
But she came home from boarding at Arapahoe Basin last week with a different attitude. "Everybody was wearing helmets," she said. "Especially in the terrain park. I felt weird because I wasn't wearing one."

I can't even believe this is still debatable for most folks -- climbers, cyclists, snowboarders. The fact is, no one has ever given me a good reason NOT to wear a helmet.
I have seen so many heated discussions on this topic in many different sports. To me it's a "No Brainer." I wear my helmets motorcycling, rock climbing and skiing. Luckily, so far my sons do to.
