actually, basic physics states that f=ma so my argument is valid. If my head is slowly decelerating because it pushes into the surface of the snow then the force exerted on my head is less than if I was wearing a helmet with a larger surface area that did not allow my head to sink into the snow. The insides of helmets are actually quite hard and I got tired of hitting my head on soft slush and it hurting more than hitting my head in the same snow without a helmet.
Think of it like this. If you jump off of a cliff into super deep snow with no shoes on, you'll sink into the snow coming to a stop slowly and probably be fine. Now if you jumped off that same cliff with big snow shoes on when you hit that super deep snow you're not sinking into anything and you'll come to a stop as if you were jumping into a parking lot.
if you don't understand this then I have no hope for you.
I'm not saying this is always the case, such as hitting your head on a rail or on concrete, but in soft snow I'm 100% correct.
and on another point, I'm fucking tired of people who
A: Hit their head and say "without my helmet I'd definitely be dead" You have no idea dumbass. Plenty of people tap their heads with helmets on and die and plenty of other people slam without helmets and are perfectly fine.
and
B: Smash their face off a tree and say "my helmet saved my life" No dumbass, you hit your face. Your helmet didn't touch a thing.
