I took a very basic gentle fall and rolled to my head turn out I got a concussion never that a fall like that while wearing a helmet would end like that. Has anyone else experience concussions associated with skiing?

Yes, I do believe you are the only one. GIving that our sport is extremely safe with very few accidents, concussions are very rare.

You're word choice dictates that you did have a concussion.

this right here is confusing, you really need to work on your word choice. Always wear a helmet is a good idea

No helmet in the world is going to save you from a concussion. A helmet will help to soften the impact of your skull but there isn't a single helmet that is "bulletproof".

Your best bet is a full face though, save the rest of your face from some serious damage. Always wear a helmet, its not going to make you invincible but it'll help protect your precious skull full of fat and protein.

Knuckled a jump doing a 7 and got pretty torn up. Ice rash all over my face, and a broken wrist. Still dont even remember the crash
