I love this sort of thing. "We" used to say "It's totally Phil" when referring to a warmish day, when there was no need for any outerwear.
i.e. No Jacket Required.

Done, but I would also like to have added comments somewhere as am still in two minds about helmet wearing. Will probably start wearing one this year as I make my children and they can definitely make a difference (fell off a horse and hit my head on a rock which left a large dent in my riding hat). My concern is about some people who wear them thinking they're invincible and becoming a danger to others.

Done but I disagree that it is a balanced survey. To me it came across as biased towards helmets only being a force for good. It didn't ask if you thought your chance of injury could be increased by wearing one yourself or by being surrounded on piste by others wearing them.

flowa, that depends entiirely on the question it is asking. A survey doesn't have to explore all possibilities equally. Few are balanced.
If the aim is just to look at when people wear helmets, what the barriers to people wearing helmets are, and whether those who had them thought the helmet had protected them, it is fine...
Most surveys we see here are asking too many questions, are poorly worded and structured.

Done. +1 for a well thought out set of questions.

Done - only people of a moronic persuasion don't wear helmets. The more we can influence/educate these people can only be a cause for the common good.

Clearly you are ignorent of the rise in c-spine injuries that piste patrollers have been dealing with since helmets have been worn more on-piste and have, staggeringly, failed to notice that neither patrollers nor instructors wear helmets in the main. Moronic, are they?

And love to help out and answer questions and of course, read each other's snow reports.

Shame, isn't it? How much improved would this one be for just one or two extra questions? Don't interpret that as a criticism of the whole. Agreed, the wording and structure are well above average.

Done. Nice & simple.

And that's a moronic view.

You know it makes sense.

Yeah, comments like that do little for the pro-helmet camp.
The daft view is that "Helmets make people feel invincible" - it's pointless saying that it's the helmet which makes people feel like that - it's the fault of the pound of porridge-inna-skull beneath it. Anyone of holding the opinion that their helmet makes them invincible would be reckless regardless of their headwear.
