Wearing a helmet, if you're a skier or snowboarder, reduces your risk of having a head injury by 60 percent.

The study showed that head injuries are very common. One in every six injuries in the study was a head injury.

This is just too important not to wear a helmet.

That means that six out of 10 head injuries could be avoided if everyone wore a helmet. If you're smart, wear a helmet - if you want to stay smart.

It seems like it is a smart thing to wear a helmet if you ski or snowboard. Even if you're not aiming for Olympic gold, but you are skiing or snowboarding, just for fun or pleasure.

I believe helmet use should be promoted strongly, and ski resorts could make helmets available for free to skiers and snowboarders when they buy their lift tickets.
