Not directed at you Bandit. Took you an hour did it?
Ah sorry Dave. Yes, as I recall about an hour, before I forgot about the difference.

Ah sorry Dave. Yes, as I recall about an hour, before I forgot about the difference.
My advice, ski within your ability 8)
The best source of facts (stats and studies) I've found is at www.ski-injury.com/prevention/helmet.
And there is a summary of the latest research here - www.ski-injury.com/research/isss-2011
Certainly amongst the people I ski with. Of around 20 people I've skied with this season, only one skied without a lid.
No downside, plenty of benefits.
Apart from safety; they keep your head warmer and dryer, won't fly off (with your goggles) when you stack it and they allow you to put your goggles up in lifts without them steaming up... etc. etc.
Er, that's it.

there are still many people who doesn't wear a helmet. 24 years since I started skiing. 3 years ago I got a helmet after my son asked me why he had to wear a helmet and I didn't have a helmet…

Never ever worn a helmet, hopefully leaving today to Meribel with brand new helmet is bag, same trip last year one of the guys took a fall lost his memorey for about 3/4 hours, I was skiing at xmas with GPS for the first time realised skiing in excess of 50mph, this made me think !

To date research has shown that helmets are effective at protecting against the majority of mild/moderate head injuries but hard evidence has been lacking that helmets can protect against more serious injuries such as skull fractures.
