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.

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.

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.

This is just too important not to wear a helmet.

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.
