If you're snowboarding around lots of rocks and trees then you ought to wear a helmet. If you're snowboarding on groomed slopes then you're a ***** for wearing a helmet.

**smokeberly** · 01-04-2012, 06:13 PM

yes.

Some resorts have already made helmets mandatory out of fear of getting sued. Other resorts are offering discounts to people who agree to wear helmets.

(By "witnessed" I mean that part of the ski slope was closed because somebody hit a tree at full speed and broke every bone in their body - I didn't actually see the corpsification take place)

Did you forget to wear your "helemt" before you posted this thread?

ACK!

Exactly! Post concussive syndrome?

For the record, she would not even go on the bunny hills without a helmet. Even experienced skiers can make a mistake anywhere--or get hit by another skier.

Wear a helmet. Don't buy it used.

Better safe than sorry.

Not that a helmet would have helped, but I snapped my collarbone snowboarding on Mt. Hood a few years back. I had to have a metal plate screwed in for it to heal. Apparently, collarbone breaks are among the most common snowboarding injuries, so that's an issue of which to be very mindful.

Do you want to live or be cool?

**mikapoq** · 01-06-2012, 01:44 AM

He got you that time.

Yeah, saw that. I was referring to the thought that "you're a *****, but that's not the reason."
