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 :-)

@Gordyjh, in Stantroll’s case there is evidence that he doesn’t hear what other posters are saying.

There were fewer wearing them last week, I put it down to pre-season (just), very few skiers, mostly local. There was little chance of bashing into anyone. Many more wearing them since the weekend.

@Orange200, has saved me from a headache on a few occasions when the lift bar has been pulled down too quickly (for me).

@Captain Primrose, except that, prior to helmets coming common place, folk did not clout their heads with the lift bar. I certainly did not. Happens from time to time now that I do wear a helmet.

@achilles, not sure there is a causal relationship. Could just be people desperate to get the bar down, or more faffage due to increased use of backpacks...potential for a whole new topic.

well the helmet does of course make your head bigger, hence the bar more likely to hit it, it is something I've also noticed, never having been hit before getting a helmet.

@endoman, do you wear a pack? That tends to force you forward and increase the likelihood of a head shot.

only when going off piste, only got hit a couple of times with helmet, then I learned to adjust for the extra size and not been got since. I skied without helmet until 3 years ago, so there's a lot to unlearn.

I have never understood the idiotic 'getting hit on the head by the safety bar' issue. You must know it's there, you must now it's coming? If your pack is too big and it perches you too far forwards, well take your pack off and hold it in front of you. Getting hit on the head once by the safety bar but allowing it to happen so much that it justifies the use of a helmet is Darwinism of the highest order.

If you go into a cave with a caving helmet on you will clonk your head many times. Try doing it without a helmet and you won't hit once. Much to do with the increased volume of the head and Kinesiology innit?

I know what you're saying...

A far greater risk is clonking the noggin on the door frame as one enters the Gondola. Seems to happen a lot after lunch to our party for whatever reason. Darwin would know I expect.

@Pruman, Just asked my dad who worked in the mines all his life, he disagrees with your caving thesis.
