Skate/ski helmet question

[E.FARR]

if i wear a skate helmet how much less protection is it gonna give me than a ski helmet..i was planning on getting the RED trace and taking the earpads out just wearing a beanie..but i found this skate helmet at my house that is same shape and has padding inside just wondering if it would be less protection or not..any thoughts..

I would get a better helmet cause i value my life.

elaborate...how much less effective would it be..

I've always kind of wondered this.. cos snow is softer than concrete.. so why are ski helmets considered more protective (much more expensive) than skate ones?

 

[EmperorKuzco]

it wont matter at all. It might break easier but its still going to protect your head

 

[Mr_pretzel]

Its not made to take the same kind of crash.

Think a 3 feet fall to concrete a 12 ft fall with a big speed to hard snow.

[Mr_pretzel]
