Yes, wearing a helmet is one of the smartest things you can do. Especially in urban and in the park. Your brain is one of the few things the doctor can't fix.

i have never worn a helmet in my entire life, but i just bought a full face for skiing back country. i've hit my head on rails a few times and it might be a good investment but... eh...

i broke my skull once, worn a helmet ever since, it's a smarter decision plus it's warmer than a beanie.

When its dumping out its pretty nice that a helmet doesn't get wet and soggy like a beanie does. Helmet all the way!

i rock a beanie unless im hitting big jumps. i dont really hit rails so i dont have to worry about hitting my head on that shit. i slide the occasional box but you know how that shit goes. who falls on boxes?!?

Helmet to the max! If anyone says that helmets look gay take a look at the 9mx.

there are relatively few "multi-impact" helmets on the market. most will be fine for the few spills you take, but a pretty hefty head banging usually requires new armour for your dome.

what does a beanie have over a helmet? I never feel safe when skiing with a beenie, even on the school trips and stuff. And plus my helmet looks sweet so i dont mind a helmet all the time.

giros are only meant to withstand one major impact because a good helmet is supposed to break. It is meant as a crumple zone to absorbe the impact rather then ur head. If it didn't break u would still get pretty messed up inside the helmet.

I probably need a helmet more when I drink, then when I ski.
