I have seen arm, back, leg protection, I guess in a political correct society we will soon be dressed a bit like Robocop. 8)

I guess it is all down to personal choice. I thought I would hate wearing one as I have skied for many years without one. I actually found that after the 1st morning I forgot I was wearing it - my hubby also wore one for the 1st time last year too. As I force mt kids to wear helmets (17 and 13 years) - I could not continue to say the the elder one 'because I say so'! It was a case of put up or shut up!I borrowed one last year - bought one at the Ski and Snowbaord show a few weeks ago.....
I do think that the slopes have got more busy and maybe more dangerous over the years .... I guess you will never really know if you need one or not until that accident happens - and then it might be too late! )

Ise posted about being the victim of a hit and run on the slopes, way back in Dec 05. He was wearing a helmet and purchased a new one after the incident.

I reckon Tony is the last person I know who would bow to peer pressure Ally :D I do wonder how many people will though.
I won't be looking down on anyone.
