The Ski Helmet Debate

Rubbish.
I know you've got a chip on your shoulder about insurance companies, but suggesting Wickers would not get a payout because he posted on here that he prefers a helmet is utterly utterly ridiculous.

Whatever you say Tony, no chip BTW just experience over 28 years of skiing.

In the event of an accident I suppose any insurer would pick up on this statement, as it's in your name. Most policies require the policyholder to refrain from needless peril

....thing is, is not whatever I say, its what you said that worried me.

Your suggesting an insurance co would not pay out if Wickers claimed because he posted on here that he prefers to not wear a helmet, and that he is deliberately putting himself at risk. Like I said, I believe thats ridiculous.

By the way, just to be certain, which camp are you in when it comes to wearing helmets? I don't think you made it clear enough :wink:

I don't think, myself, that the insurance companies can discriminate against bobble hat wearers until the ski instructors stop wearing them.

But once it becomes compulsory for them, for safety reasons, to wear a helmet, then watch out all bobble hat wearers :shock:

If its compulsory all would have to abide, obviously :roll:

I mean, compulsory for ski instructors, as part of the job description.

Sorry but I thought helmets were not compulsory for adults, nothing in my policy to say I have to wear a helmet ...... so until it becomes compulsory it is my wish not to wear one.
The issue from the thread is it is optional so I choose not wear one, please feel free to continue the discussion :D :D :D

Viva le bobble :thumbup:
