Hi Lucy. Ive got to agree with Snow Plough et al. Ive worn one now for the last 3 years as do many. Keep your eyes open for ski equiptment in Aldi and Lidl you will pick up something quite cheap that will do the job (£30 or so). Not a lot when it could save you a big headache or even your life!

Huh, don't go all rightious on us Steve. Granny state and all that. We've all seen you on those bikes of yours your a bl--dy nutter and I'm sure Jesse has a helmet as well. Keep safe mate see you in 12 weeks & 6 days ish.

Jon and I both wear helmet after jon had a couple of falls where he managed to hit his head quite hard, i have a nice scape on the back of mine where i managed to get caught out by the Rila 4 man lift and that would have been some pretty stitch work had i not been wearing a helmet! The day will probably come where insurance companies don't pay out for injuries which may have been prevent by wearing a helmet. Don't think I'd feel dressed without one now.

See you on the mountain in 78 days and 14 hours, not that I'm counting

Essential Travel, an insurer, have now made it mandatory to be wearing a helmet for skiing and boarding as part of their insurance policy. It would appear that its started to happen as predicted, wonder how many other insurers will follow suit.
