I have a lovely black scuff mark across my helmet where my own ski hit it once detached and sliding down a slope in my wake. I don't remember the impact but I have the mark to show where it caught me in the head. If I had not been wearing my helmet......... :!:
I can see my house from here...

You can't put a helmet in your pocket when the sun shines :(

The amount of damage I do to my head on a Friday and Saturday night every weekend, completely negates any benefit from me wearing a helmet for 3 days a year, in my opinion.

A friend took a fall earlier this week and ended up with a concussion. She totalled her helmet.
I wouldn't like to think how badly hurt she could have been had she not been wearing it.

It is my understanding that concussion is caused by sharp movement of the brain within the skull ...the helmet might have saved external injury or even a cracked cranium but not the concussion
hope its still sunny

True Daved. A helmet may lessen the severity of a concussion but will not completely eliminate the possibility as it is bruising of the brain due to a sudden impact of the brain with the cranium.
Still wear one though for the occasional collision of my head with branches when tree skiing.

How many days until it snows again. ;)
