Wearing helmet 'beneficial' for skiers and snowboarders

http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/health-12415801

I wasn't aware that common sense needed it's own news article.

That being said, I don't see much of a reason for ski instructors working on the poma to wear a helmet other than to set a good example for their lessons.

Another study found that adults and children, of all ages, wearing a helmet while skiing were significantly less likely than those without a helmet to have a head injury.

that's some study!

well, i did my study too: wearing a helmet protects titanium plates in my head when taking a seat at High Peaks chair

Helmets protect you from chairlift safety bars more than anything
