[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Good article “ Studies show that helmets reduced non-serious head injuries, such as minor concussions, by nearly 70 percent in the 17 seasons between 1995 and 2012. But to Shealy’s amazement, there was no change in the number of fatalities. “The question became,”he says, “Why aren’t helmets saving people’s lives?”
From the somber task of reviewing more than 2,000 death certificates, Shealy knows that of the average 45 people who die skiing each year, the average fatality is a male traveling at high speed on a blue run who collides with a fixed object (usually a tree).”

Doesn't your brain move inside your skull causing injuries even with a helmet?[/quote]

Yes, but there is the new helmet technology like MIPS and Koroyd that minimize negative effects of brain movement when you fall. You want a helmet with these features.

[quote][i]Originally developed by a brain surgeon and a biomechanics scientist, the Mips® Safety System has revolutionized the world of helmet safety. By complementing the helmet with a low-friction layer, designed to move slightly in the event of an impact, the system is designed to help redirect rotational motion away from the head. This is intended to help reduce the risk of brain injury.

[quote][i]Designed for dynamic, real life accidents, and engineered for safety so you can venture further with confidence. KOROYD ultimate protection absorbs more energy and works better than traditional materials because it creates crumple zones by using core tubular technology. This outperforms other materials at every stage of compression, helping reduce the risk of injury.
