Ski/Snowboard Helmets – Ten Excuses Not To Wear One
Should you be sporting a ski/snowboard helmet when you are on the mountain? Most likely. Helmets aren’t a magic bullet that will protect you in all events but, like seatbelts, they may be the difference between minor and severe injury. As a ski patroller I’ve seen the difference they make in the reduction of head injuries on the slopes. As they’ve become far more popular over the years and turned out to be the standard wear for the recreational skier/rider as well as racers, head injuries have decreased and awareness of the dangers of head injuries has increased.
Do you wear a helmet? If not, why not? Listed below are the ten why nots I hear most generally for not wearing a ski/snowboard helmet. Is one of them yours?
Bulky. Not Anymore. Newer helmets are produced of lighter weight material that’s much more durable increasing comfort and safety.
Expensive. So is really a stay in intensive care. So is the rest of one’s equipment. You’ll be able to discover reasonably priced helmets for just about every need.
Uncomfortable. Discover 1 that fits the shape of your head. Most helmets come with some sort of fitting pad to their liner so that they can be customized for comfort. With all the diverse brands and models readily available there’s positive to be 1 produced for your head.
Too Hot/Too Cold. Helmets come with vents that you are able to open to let in some cold air and let out some heat to assist regulate your head temperature. If you’re still not warm enough with the vents closed, try wearing a lightweight, thin beanie or balaclava under your helmet. Ugly. So are stitches. Helmets come in all shapes and colors these days. There is certain to be 1 to suit your taste regardless of whether its for scorching pink stripes or leopard spots! You are able to at all times customize a helmet with a helmet cover as well.
I Don’t Ski/Ride Quickly or Out of Control. You may not, but you can’t control the other guy can you? No matter how in control you’re there’s at all times the unforeseen, that’s why they are called accidents.
I’m A Beginner. Newbies generally ski/ride around other beginners. Newbies typically forget how to stop or turn, particularly when they’re going too quickly. Novices fall …. A great deal.
I’ve Never Required One Before. It only takes once.
Snow’s Soft. Think early season, man-made snow, warm sunny days and cool afternoons when the snow sets up, early morning prior to the sun hits the snow and it’s still icy from the hard freeze last night. All of those conditions can make snow as hard as your local skatepark’s ramp.
A Ski/Snowboard Helmet Won’t Save My Life if I Hit a Tree. It could possibly not if you’re going at a high rate of speed, but then again it just might be the difference between a goose egg and a stay in a trauma center.
