He was our flight home yesterday - I was was quite impressed that he was travelling with us oiks! I'm glad my helmet was tucked away safely in the hold and so I was spared his scorn. Although, in my defence, I rarely wear it

A well reasoned from Bozza there, and I agree that fashion has a great deal to do with it. Speaking personally I've worn a lid for 3 years now after I clanged by head on a hard piste after a misguided attempt at a high speed pop off a lip, had a ringing headache for 2 days so got myself some protection. I like to take risks and push myself when skiing and am likely to stack as a result, my choice. I don't think any less of helmet-less people (e.g. 1/2 of my mates), and if you're pootling around there is generally little need for protection except for the collisions that Boris so eloquently describes. If I'm going to be in a collision, through no fault of my own, then I want to be the one wearing the helmet.

He doesn't wear a cycle helmet either.
But he does endorse cycling home after a few beers 
quote ...
"I have just one idea, if more people rode bicycles and fewer people droves (sic) cars you would not have to worry about the drink driving laws and I sincerely believe that. I have absolutely no prohibition about drinking a pint of two of beer and riding my bicycle where as I would not do that in a car."
Maybe He'd make a better Q than James bond.

Utter lies, I have never shared a lift with Boris... unless I mistook him for a fat German.

Seems a well-written article. I can see nothing to take exception to.

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

Bandwagon jumped on. Quite amusingly written though. Helmet wearing does appear to be on the increase, particularly in Austria. In Ischgl I'd say it was over 50%, in Meribel, less than 25%. Maybe those who ski in Austria care more about their brains than those who ski in France?

Axsman, condom sales also much higher per head in Austria than France. Big users of protective equipment, those pragmatic Austrians.

You know it makes sense.

That low Axsman ? I'd have put Helmut wearing in Austria to be much higher ? Maybe even 75% in Schladming ??

I think you will find that Boris's columns regularly attract far more responses than that.

No sense, no feeling as for as Boris is concerned. He seems good for a laugh mind you

tadpoles.... classic!

I don't care what I look like - I wear a helmet because I hate the feeling of hats around my head. The helmet sensation is something I'm more used to from riding...

The comments from the Telegraph readers whinging that everyone other than them is rubbish at skiing are hilarious. Otherwise, the Oxford Union rhetorical style has much to answer for. Boris has clearly never met an overblown line of argument he didn't like.
