As for all children having to wear them, I totally agree. Though when snow is involved I think the term 'children' should include all in the 1-101 age bracket. :wink:
In our group of 27 I am the first adult to consider/buy a helmet. Then again, I'm the only one to have had a bad accident which may have something to do with it.
It's all up to the inidividual at the moment...

I dont buy into the idea that a lid gives me a false sense of security, so i go out of my comfort zone, i wear it as i cannot help what other people do or what state they could be in.

My better half fell in France skiing and the ear piece on the helmet broke because her head hit the hard packed snow so hard. Could of been alot worse if she wasnt wearing it and now helmets tend to be a safe fashion a accessory.

You broke your back and you ski while listening to your ipod, does not sound very safe to me :evil:
