Helmets .... Is it a Brit thing.

I'm so clumsy I wear a helmet because I would injure myself far more than I already do without one (my bruises are legendary)! Ask the J2Ski holiday buddies who rescued me from my net dangling incident. It was a 25ft drop onto rocks. I have to say I wasn't thinking about the fact I was wearing a helmet at the time but I am glad I was. Poor Brooksy who broke my fall probably needed a helmet more than me that day, but he still doesn't wear one!! It's entirely his choice and I respect that, as long as he doesn't mind me falling on him from a great height :lol:
Oh and just to stay on topic, I don't think it is a Brit thing either.

Oh the irony...

Helmets is a brit thing.

I don't understand.

What is you're point in asking a pointless question

Maybe you should try skiing & stop asking silly questions, sorry I've had a drink or more & have to ask what is this question aiming at?????????????

Well it seems, as I thought, to have provoked the same old helmet or not discussion. And one or two rather one eyed views, as usual.
Myself included. Although I'm after freedom to choose rather than being anti lid.
