The moral? Always wear a helmet. Without my helmet I would probably be in a coma right now.

I saw a little 3 foot drop lookin thing, went over it, sunk in and tumbled into a huge boulder pile. Fucking hurt, but I had no idea I had hit my head til I got home.

I was with him, he went off this little like 5-10ft hit thing and it was pur rocks covered by a layer of snow, and he fell down to what looked like powder, but was actualy covered rocks, lots of them. It was funny as fuck until we realized he landed on rocks.

you better pick up a new helment, that will weaken its core and it is useless

I did the same thing at Big Sky last year, except I came down in a sled. It makes you evaluate the risks you're taking a bit more, doesn't it?

Damn dude, mother nature can be a tricky bitch sometimes. My buddy got a peg through his helmet on the forehead area when he bailed mid-air on his BMX. Honestly, he would have died without that thing.

Yeah its safe to say that I will never consider skiing without a helmet anymore. The crazy thing is that I almost did trade my helmet for a hat that day.
