Who skis with a helmet or without one. I had a concussion last year and needed some advice. I dont want another head injury but I like the way hats look better.
 
Ya I have a bad lt. and it is okay, I kind of customized it. It used to be the white camo but I took it off so now it is shiny. But I want a bern helmet.
 
they make some dope helmets these days, comfortable too. rock the helmet...

well you should join a fashion show then....seriously get a helmet if you got a concussion, i wear one who gives a shit how they look, you will have the last laugh when the guy next to you bleeding is bleeding from the head and you arnt cuz you were wearing a helmet.
 
i've gotten a concussion with a helmet on, so i most likely would have died/gotten brain damage without it so i'm pretty much down for life. you can rock your steezy hat after you get off the hill.
 
def get a helmet. they have saved me big times on multiple occasions and now a lot of them are really steezy. personally im a big fan of giro.
 
i got 2 concussions last year, and one knockked me out for 5 minutes. funny part is i was wearing a helmet. sometimes a helmet doesn matter if you slam your head after comin down from 20+ yards in the air. so we are all takin severe risks doin what we do, but do anything to make it safer. plus helmets are a big style factor i think.
 
I've always got my helmet on on the hill. Its warm, they look fine, i'm spending too much money at university to splatter my brain on the inside of my skull.
 
i straight up refuse to wear a helmet. i know its stupid, and i know im takin a risk.

helmets dont match my suit... it just doens't work.
 
ur the fucking queer who asked about mittens earlier. Helmets are much safer than hat. if u dont like helmets tht much then get one and just it when ur doing rails, inverted ariels, cliffs and jibs
 
I wear one all the time. I got knocked out while wearing one a couple of years ago, can't imagine what would have happened if I didn't have it on.
 
i really really hate the feeling of helmets on my head, but theyre good cause it hurts when you slam your head into stuff
 
I wear an RED Hi-FI. It feels like you have nothing on your head, it's just crazy. But yea I prefer having a helmet on my head and not exploding my head then having no helmet and to explode my head.
 
if your just like skiing its not that bad, but in the park you should deff have one, i got a real bad concussion at momentum last summer, and you feel like such shit for l ike a week after, it like hurts just to look into a light, orhear a loud noise, and that was with a helmet on. and look at whats happening 2 people, like cr. just invest in one that looks good, and there not that bad
 
there are some dope ass helmets. so noone can really say that helmets all look gay cuz they don't
 
my helmet has saved mylife on multiple occaisions. i highly recomend wearing one even if you intend to stick to groomers.
 
I wear one. I figure why not? I mean, it isn't that big of a hassle to wear one, and a good friend of mine skidded out on ice and hit her head on a tree. She was in a coma for 2 months, and had to relearn everything from walking to talking to eating. So, as I said before, I figure I might as well wear one. And I have a k2, it is super light, probably one of the lightest helmets I have worn, I like it.
 
one of the claims against that is that it give you a false sense of confidence, and you push yourself to where you are greatly increasing your chances of getting hurt

take climbing for example. You are always told to wwear a helmet because of falling rock and debrism and they are safer. But if you flip through any climbing magazine you will see pics of people climbing 5.13 multi-pitch routes not wearing them, why because they dont look good in pictures, they are not appealing. its the same with skiing, sure they are safer, but they dont look so steezy and cool in pictures
