Shit son! Always wear a helmet kids! - I get so annoyed with pros like Dane Tudor for not wearing a helmet - okay fair enough; he is a sick skier and one of my favourite pros, and it is his option/choice to choose not to wear one but for impressionable kids it is so much better to be "safe than sorry" and wear one.
Even if he never falls it takes nothing to have an extra 1/5 of a kg on his head. If kids see him dropping 20 foot backcountry cliffs without one they are going to consider that they their local 10 foot table is fine to hit without a helmet... But all it takes is 2 seconds of "glory" to screw over your life forever.... take care kids and always wear a helmet at least!!! Stay Safe!!

Either your native language isn't English, or your helmet didn't save you quite as well as you think it did.

Had the same thing happen to me about 5-6 years back- I split the whole backside of a helmet doing a switch 7, landing too deep and too far backseat causing for some wicked whiplash. Helmets are great

Ive gotten severe concussions with helmets on as well. Not wearing a helmet can screw you up.

hey if your native language is not english and you are doing me and others the favor of speaking in my language because we dont know yours, never fucking apologize for it not being perfect. If we dont like your grammar, andwant to know your story, we should learn your damn language
