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.

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.

Do as the Olympians do. Wear a helmet, even if you're not an elite skier or snowboarder especially if you're not.

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

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.

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