Ski helmets seem to be very similar to mountain bike helmets. Would you ever ride a mountain bike without a helmet? I don’t know anyone who does, and I never see anyone without.

So, if they are safe enough for biking they must do some good for skiing. They probably won’t save your life if you ski 50mph into a tree, but they will help when you bash your head on the slope or when somebody bashes you.

I like my helmet because it keeps my goggles from fogging up when I’m hiking and it’s one less thing to go gather after a yard sale…

When I first got the helmet (1997), I thought it may actually increase the risks that I took because I felt more protected…Well, I found out less than a year later my head may have been slightly more protected, but that didn’t stop me from hitting a tree and busting a rib.

Will the ski saftey industry start promoting body armor when helmet sales flatten?
