When you go snowboarding?

Question

is it required to have a helmet?

Answer 1

It depends on where you live, and your age. In some countries it is required under a certain age. Check with the resort you plan to go to, to be sure.

Even if it isn't required it is a really good idea to wear one. The most common injuries in snowboarding are broken wrist, tailbone, and head injuries. It takes only a relatively minor head injury to die. Helmets are not expensive so it doesn't make a lot of sense to not wear one.

Answer 2

No but it's safer. If you're a first or even second timer, I reccomend it. Snowboarding is hard but fun once you get the hang out it. I'm going soon, this January.

Answer 3

no

Answer 4

these rules deped usually on the resort and your age. Also some states might have laws saying you have to wear one. I'vev personally never been to a ski resort or mountain that required this, but i've only gone to about 8

Answer 5

you are an idiot

Answer 6

If it isn't..then it should be. Considering how dangerous it is...I can only imagine that it would be required.

Answer 7

No, but if you have one you should wear it.  It may be rocky and there are definatly a lot of trees where you can seriously hurt yourself.  My friend didn't wear a helmet and he went off a jump and landed on his head and now he's paralyzed from the head down.

Answer 8

It's not required but it would be smart to for your first few times and it is a good idea if you do jumps and some of the bigger rails

Answer 9

Nope.  i went when i was like in gr 7 and never had to .. no one around me either

Answer 10

no, but i recomend one.. i almost slammed my head into a tree today.. i was literally an inch away when i landed on my head.
