    Yet Another Helmet Article-

    http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/uk_news/8570513.stm

    although this one is about helmets for skiers and boarders.

    the quote "You wouldn't ride a bike without a helmet, so I wouldn't ski without one" may evoke some responses!:)

    But the suggestion that they may be made compulsory for skiiers may herald them being made compulsory for cyclists (that's just my view).

    My own personal view is "yes to helmets, no to compulsion."

    thought this was interesting

    "He says that although helmet uptake has increased during that time - from around 2% to 60% - there's been no significant decrease in the number of head injuries seen. "

    "They do protect you well against minor head injuries but there's no conclusive evidence that if you hit a tree or another skier, that it's going to save your life."

    best quote

    "A helmet is not a panacea and it doesn't protect you against everything."
