Ski and Snowboarding Helmet Usage is Picking Up
As a first year helmet wearer, I am actually not surprised by this article. Seriously, I love my helmet. It keeps my head warm and is no less comfortable than a hat. Moreover, I have good protection for a potential accident or collision.
The article notes "It's really the middle demographic, the 30-somethings to 50-somethings, that have been slow” to embrace helmets" I fit exactly in this spot and really was hesitant to move to a helmet. Now, I would not go back to a hat.
While I support the freedom for people to choose whether or not they wear a helmet, I think it is clearly the better choice. If you are one of those old school people who think a helmet is going to be a problem, trust me. The helmet is the better choice on many many levels.
