I've been seeing a lot of park edits with bros not wearing helmets. What's up with that? Helmets save lives, who knows when you'll catch and edge and bang your head or slide out on a rail. Just with all the head injuries and death in the sport in recent years you think everyone would be rocking helmets inside the park by now.
I get a lot of hate, but I only wear a helmet like 50% of the time. I am completely aware of the risks and I've seen some nasty head injuries. No excuses...I'm not trying to be "badass".
We'll continue to increasingly not wear helmets until a big name in the sport gets turned into a vegetable off a closeout over stairs. Then we'll wear one, until the sport starts to forget... Cycle continues.
How is this a conversation? The only solace to be found is a head which is too stupid to protect itself may cause itself to be taken out of the reproductive pool. And that's some cynical shit. Wear helmets.
At this point helmets are just an accepted part of the look of a skier and nobody is gonna judge you for wearing one. It isn't like skateboarding where you look like a 12 year old if you wear one. But if you don't wanna wear a helmet that is your personal preference and it is up to you at the end of the day.
