TRVP_ANGELNo it's all propaganda paid for by big helmet
iceddo cups really hold water?
leanmasterive had multiple concussions wearing a helmet and none without one
freeskibum82helmets do help. especially one with MIPS. If you've had a hard hit with a helmet, get a new one. could explain your multiple concussions wearing a helmet as a single impact condenses the foam (which was there to slow the impact) and does not rebound. Once the foam has been crushed, it does nothing after that for protection. Also remember to replace every 4-5years as the heating and cooling cycles of the materials cause issues with durability as well. It's cheap $100 insurance. why wouldnt you protect your brain.. unless you dont have one of course.

eheathHelmets don't really help much with concussions other than softening the blow, theyre mostly for if you slam your head into a tree.
finderDepends on helmet type, type of fall and how well the helmet fits. Hard foam helmets generally are designed to prevent a skull fracture/keep you alive if you slam your dome going real fast. Softer foam helmets tend to do a better job at preventing concussions at lower speed impacts. If you can comfortably out your goggles up without unbuckling your helmet, your problem could be right there. You can still get concussed from general shock impacts such as landing on your back. Clacking your jaw (typically from taking a knee to the face) can also get you in a real bad spot.
My theory is that having less weight on your head is somewhat useful for keeping your head off the ground/put of the way, making it better than a bad helmet, but still worse than a good one.
papermachefootball players get concussions all the time even though they wear helmets. That's not a reason to stop wearing them.
SofaKingSickSkiers are such retards that at least once a year this site has a thread where people try to question in all seriousness that helmets are safer than no helmets
nature is amazing...!
