Was trying something, rotated way too far, caught back edge at high speed. Slammed back of my head and did this to my helmet.
Totally agree. I don't know why but I get very freaked out when I see videos of brain injured people. Scares the crap out of me.At work, occasionally work with head injured folks...fix'n the old bean is NOT like fix'n bones. Really tragic results can in an instance change a person's life. And a cost of a helmet is peanuts compared to even a little trip to the ER.
Yup, I don't wear a helmet because of my skill or lack there of, it is because of all the out of control skier noobs. They could take me out at the knees from behind and scrabble my brains.I wear one because trees are hard and people are idiots.............
5 years max. The foam hardens as it gets old and no longer offers the protection it's supposed to.....At what point do you guys consider a helmet in need of replacement? Either from age or the accumulative effects of minor impacts?
