That's a nice ski speaker you've got there. Shame if it got pwned

Statistics show you're far more likely to injure a leg than any other part of the body, and that most injuries are caused by falling or landing badly after a jump, than by hitting someone else (in which case a head injury seems more possible in a one on one collision).

Add in the additional safety feeling that wearing a helmet provides (in all sports) increasing the likelihood of taking greater risks, and helmet wearing doesn't really seem a big issue.

But don't let me stop you.
