yes measures can be taken to prevent injuries but alas we cant stop time ending. :(

No one's gonna shoot you down for having an opinion, I'm not a doctor but there is a possibility NR had a weakness from a previous, my point is the sport is quite safe and I am not going to panic
and run out and buy a helmet, I will possibly talk it over with my family but ultimately I do not feel the need to panic buy, I wonder if the helmet prices will suddenly increase I have already had an email today from " ski warehouse " advertising helmets.

Where is Glasgow :hunf:

The thing we learn from this is more proof of how even a simple fall on a relatively safe slope can be so devastating. Also learned is that even a simple bang to the head should be checked out.

My wife and I have worn helmets since we took up skiing; but the most whacks to the head, which increased our appreciation of the head warming helmets, happened from bringing the safety bar down on the chair lift.

Ian, they just make sense!

However to each their own - until wearing helmets becomes legislated. It is easier to join the helmeted world of one's free will than to be forced into one.

Mike, you are a man of wisdom :wink:
