Would wearing a helmet for ski-ing encourage me to take more risks?

Question

I do try to stay in control most of the time,

.....and yes, I find even wearing a hat restricts my vision!

Answer 1

Actually, your strange obsession with helmets is starting to scare me. No, this will not encourage you to take more risks. Instead, it will actually give you a bigger feeling of saftey.

Hope this Helps.

Answer 2

Helmets are always safest

I heard of someone who was skiing with out a helmet, and was standing to get something out of his pocket. He just fell over, hit his head on a rock and died!

It will not make you take more risks, in fact, you probably wont notice it at all.

Answer 3

I dont think so. But I am kinda against helmets, they freak me out! I dont like that I dont have full vision. Are you already a crazy skiier? If so you might get a little braver!

Answer 4

I'm not sure if it would make you take more risks. If that is your goal, I would suggest skiing with people above your level (that are patient with you) and would encourage you to progress. However, a helmet is a great investment. I have numerous friends that wouldn't be here or would have had serious injuries without it. And, it's usually someone else's fault...lots of crazy, busy stuff going on.

Answer 5

Wear the helmet it can save your life. Be aware that a helmet will not necessarily prevent a concussion or other head injury. But if you don't wear it the injury would be much worse. The helmet should be there for protection not to give you a sense of security.

Answer 6

That depends on your personality.
