 Poster: A snowHead

Ongoing research by Vermont Snow Sports Research Team, which commenced in 2002 reveals a "near doubling" in helmet use by adults during this period. But the study also indicates that helmet use by children is levelling out "at around 70%".
The researchers point out: "The medical community bears some responsibility for the low use of helmets due to past confusion over their effectiveness ... new research has shown that wearing a helmet does not increase the chance of sustaining a neck injury or lead to reckless behavior on the slopes."

Sorry, David. I must admit I was a bit wary of running this one. Maybe we should put a lid ...
... on it.

Paranoias the reason everyone's wearing helmets after reading about all the out-of-shape drunks from the UK on the ski slopes.

WTFH wears a helmet because he worried about people hitting him over the head with large vegetables.

I was very appreciative of wearing the plastic when doing a 180 on the aforementioned helmet - one of the lads that was with us had never seen that before..........he reckoned doing the 180 on ones head should earn extra points

Ah, a break dancing thread at long last

You know it makes sense.

Sorry, but just to dart back on topic for a second. I was chatting to the bloke who runs a ski shop near here - he'd just taken delivery of a load of this seasons kit and we were having a look at it.
He said that up to a couple of years ago he sold maybe two adult helmets a season, and mainly to racers. Part of the delivery was about fifty helmets and he expects to shift most of them before March. So, obviously, it's not just the US where usage is n the increase.
Now then, break dancing...........................................

It was noticeable in Zurich the other week how many people are buying helmets this year. We did because we managed to get them free so it would be silly not to...
