Yeah today I was crankin' it, so fast through steep, heavy-powder chopped-up glades and there were about a few times when my head either 1) Shot past a trunk in close proximity or 2) I nearly fell where my head (or face) might would have smoked a tree
I love my helmet. No one can be out of their mind enough to charge with a bare head. Not just that, your fucking brain is inside that dome. Downloaded that Speedometer app...78 km/h or nearly 50mph. Somewhat fast, but skiers can go far beyond that. Point is, do you want your naked skull going that fast? So you say you don't charge super fast? Even if you're going 1/2 that, think about how fast it still is. It's supposed to be common sense, but it isn't quite there yet. Maybe I'll start jaywalking without looking. Sounds great, until you get owned.

i always wear one. I've only had one fall where i've been really glad that i've had it on, but i'd rather not take that chance. besides, it's not that inconvenient to wear one when you consider the consequences of not wearing one
