Hey, how about instead of requiring helmets, we remove the objects these people are skiing into? Trees, poles that hold the lifts up, fences.... Doesn’t sound too practical, does it?

In the early 80’s, my cousin skied into a tree. A helmet wouldn’t have made any difference, he died of massive chest injuries.

Let’s just call it what it is: Acceptable risk. Maybe there's too much “there must be someone we can blame! This must be someone’s fault!”

If you ski like this...

you need a helmet.

On the bunny hills, I'm not so sure.

That and too many people who have decided they get to decide what is and what is ot acceptable risk.
