Log in to snowHeads to make it MUCH better! Registration's totally free, of course, and makes snowHeads easier to use and to understand, gives better searching, filtering etc. as well as access to 'members only' forums, discounts and deals that U don't even know exist as a 'guest' user. (btw. 50,000+ snowHeads already know all this, making snowHeads the biggest, most active community of snow-heads in the UK, so you'll be in good company)..... When you register, you get our free weekly(-ish) snow report by email. It's rather good and not made up by tourist offices (or people that love the tourist office and want to marry it either)... We don't share your email address with anyone and we never send out any of those cheesy 'message from our partners' emails either. Anyway, snowHeads really is MUCH better when you're logged in - not least because you get to post your own messages complaining about things that annoy you like perhaps this banner which, incidentally, disappears when you log in :-)

Help an aspiring BASI instructor

 Poster: A snowHead
Poster: A snowHead
Please can you spend a few minutes filling out the survey, a friends son is off at end of November to pursue his dream of becoming a ski instructor. He is doing his level 4 BASI and as part of this has to submit a project and has chosen to do one on the use of ski helmets.

Your help would be greatly appreciated.
THE SURVEY IS OPEN FOR NEXT 6 WEEKS.
Many thanks

I did the survey. Was irritated by the first question though - my "snow sport activities" include XC skiing and nobody wears helmets for that!

The question "were you measured for your helmet" had me stumped. The grammar suggests that somebody else did the measuring. I measured myself at home using a tape measure. So I answered "no" but possibly should have said "yes".

The question about encouraging safer skiing was ambiguous - I took it to mean "does wearing a helmet make people ski in a safer manner" and answered "no" . But if it meant "does the wearing of helmets make the sport of skiing safer" my answer would have been "yes".

Still,I don't suppose it matters one jot!

My second reason as to why I wear a helmet is that it is somwhere to put my gloves when I am not skiing! But I have genuinely filled the survey out to the best of my ability. It would be interesting to see his conclusions when he finishes his project.

my second reason is that it facilitates listening to music - that might have been a good topic for some research. wink

Great! A poor survey with 12 responses (at least) - now I feel no obligation to put myself through it. Thanks folks.

Well in that case you've succeeded. I'm absolutely furious, obviously.

My 3rd reason, and often actually the most important one...

"Protects against idiots bringing bars on chairlifts down too quickly!"

My helmet has saved me from more bashed heads due to that than it has in falls.
