    I'm not sure if anybody saw this in bbc1 last night but it's well worth a look. It shows how easy things can change even from a simple fall. I'm not saying helmets should be mandatory but I certainly won't go on the slopes without one.

    Between this and The Crash Reel, two very interesting and eye opening documentaries about brain injury in our sport/pastime.

    Helmets are gonna be obligatory for instructors in Soll from this season. Let the madness begin!! (You'll be able to tell how many instructors were in each bar just by counting the helmets left behind haha) ;)

    It's crazy that any travel insurer covers you when skiing without a helmet.

    Obviously helmets aren't going to stop everything, but even cuts and most minor concussions could be stopped.
