i search barred it and i didn't find much on this topic but if it is a repost, live with it

if you don't wear a helmet, just simply, why not
they protect your life. i know this is ns but if Kevin Pearce wasn't wearing a helmet he would've died. i saw him a few weeks ago a hood. even though I'm a skier, I'm stoked he's riding.

i wear one, i figure that everyone who slams their head hard enough do damage without a helmet on would probably wish they were wearing a helmet.

No one learning to walk again is thinking fuck , if i could do it all over again ... i wouldn't change a thing because i looked thug as hell.

i've hit my head really, really hard twice this past winter, probably wouldn't have been a good time if i didn't have a helmet on. Last fall ended up busting the helmet almost in half. :/

I can't ski without a helmet anymore. I've become so dependent on a helmet. Not because of my skiing ability, but because of all of the other idiots on the slopes.

In the backyard, or sessioning a really mellow rail, nope, I don't wear one. Theres no real way you could get seriously hurt in this type of situation (other than some type of freak accident of course).

But if I ever get on the hill, I ALWAYS wear a helmet. Too many risks; features, trees, ice, other skiers. Not worth it to look "steezier".

yes, it's dumb not to. Had a customer lose his daughter last year while skiing. She wasn't going fast was just cruising with some friends and hit a pole and it was enough to kill her. It doesn't matter how they look, they're there for one job, and that's to protect your most important organ.

 Some people will find helmets look stupid but if you know someone with a brain injury, you'll strap it on no matter what. Trust me. It kinda annoys me when people don't wear a helmet, I mean shit, there are  certain people NS who should be wearing helmets DAILY

ditch that helmet bro, there's a reason why second hand stores cant sell cracked/dented helmets, any helmet with cracks or dents isn't safe anymore... it compromises the entire structure of the helmet, that's almost worse than not wearing a helmet actually, because you have the false sense of security! just thought I'd give you a heads up!
