agreed, that can't be bad
I wonder about that. Any helmet that's had a knock needs replacing and I wonder how many renters report that to the store or if it's logged. Some organisations used RFID tracking of PPE for that reason in fact, I don't think that's reached ski stores though.
ise, do you wear a helmet ??
mostly, unless weight and speed are issue for a tour and then I don't
Do you wear one because you ski off Piste more than on, it is just a matter of interest really as I ski 80% on piste but if I was to ski more off piste I think I would be more tempted to wear one.

I'm not going to buy one, I'm going to hire one. Imagine carrying a helmet on the train, as well as everything else! I'm not even sure one would fit in my suitcase.
And at least, if I can't stand wearing it, I won't have wasted money buying one.
You never know, this latest death, sad as it is, might save a lot of future head injuries, if it makes people wear helmets.

Ise,
The same thing applies to riding hats. I had to buy a new hat after I fell off my horse and had concussion.
I suppose I will just have to pick a nice new shiny-looking one, and hope for the best. At least it will keep my head warm. I shouldn't think they have X-ray machines (or whatever) in the hire shop to look for cracks etc. in the helmets.
