Bicycle Helmets on the Slopes!!!

Even if it prevents bruising it's offering protection.

No I don't, I'm completely amazed anyone's prepared to stand up in public and claim it is. They don't provide any protection for the impacts a skier is likely to experience.



Are you reading exactly what I wrote? I said it will offer some protection. I didn't say or imply it would offer the same protection as an actual ski or snowboard snowboard helmet.

I'm amazed you can think a helmet which covers part of the head doesn't offer some protection to the areas covered. Even if it prevents bruising it's offering protection.

Ise, If you still think a covered area is less protected than an uncovered area then we'll disagree.

ise, So do you agree that a bicycle helmet is better than no protection at all? The point i was making.

A bicyle helmet is a cheap alternative to a ski helmet although some bicyle helmets cost as much as ski helmets.

It is definately better protection than wearing no helmet at all.

Ask yourself how can wearing a protective head covering offer less protection than no helmet at all. Wearing a helmet with a hat underneath or the wrong type of helmet or a poorly fitting helmet will still offer some protection.

Things I love about skiing holidays

1) Skiing

2) Beautiful mountain scenery

3) It's a holiday with friends

4) Looking around the resort - enjoying the skiing vibe

5) Taking photos

6) There are other activities to do but I often don't do them because skiing gets in the way

7) The pure mountain air makes me feel great

8 )and all the other reasons

Caron-a, You can't do 1 but you can do everything else especially 6 although Tignes isn't the most interesting place for non-skiing activities. Treat is as a time to do all the things you wouldn't have time for when skiing.
