Why you should wear a helmet...

I'm a big helmet guy, i pretty much always wear one while skiing...well today me and my friends were just messing around on a hit we built outside my house so we go out with just our ski stuff barely on and start throwing stuff down...like i said we were just messing around, so no need for a helmet or gloves or a coat even. the ONE time i don't wear a helmet, i go for a little backflip (worst case scenario, i over rotate and hit my head in soft snow). My ski ejects right off the jump because of the steepness (bindings are shit too, fuck Marker) and i continue the rotation land on one ski but tip. i land, and as soon as i did my ski lands on edge from about fifteen feet up right on the top of my head. now i'm sitting here... my high of pain killlers and redbull is fading...my head hurts like fuck...wear a helmet

Agreed. Even the littlest shit can be the worst. One time, I was skating in my garage and I was doing a nose pivot, and I dislocated my shoulder.

because he was messing around. and he probably feels comfortable with his backflips

Forgot to add: instead of winding up dead I just ended up snapping my radius and ulna clean, right before the wrist. Shit sucks, but it beats being lifeless.

Hope your head feels better. I know what you mean, if I were screwing around on some small jump in my yard with a few friends I'd probably get the same feeling of whatever, im in my yard, doesnt matter, dont need a helmet but it does the small things can suck

you seem like a fairly smart guy. when doing a BACKFLIP you put a helmet on. come on now

You landed a backflip on one foot and then got hit on the head by the other ski? That actually sounds pretty sweet.
Oh, and always wear a helmet. You never know what's gonna happen.
