Snowboarding - helmet or not?
I was showing a Dutch guy some pics from a recent boarding trip and he reckoned it was insane that nobody in the pics had head protection on. Just wondering if many people who go boarding do bother with some kind of headgear, other than just a dodgy hat to keep it warm.

if you're confident in your skills and aren't doing anything to risky I don't see why you need one...

Unless you go extreme snowboarding off a cliff, wear a helmet.
If it's just to a resort, and you're not a klutz, save yourself some humiliation and put the helmet to the side. |

helmets are popular here for people who jump 40 foot cliffs, do inverts in the pipe/jumps....and for pussies.

As a rule it's my face that hits the snow/ice hard and not my head so unless I went for a full face guard it seems it'd do little. Besides a little danger in life makes it worth living
![]() Probably the biggest reason though is while I'm happy to wear the most stupid/outrageous hats I can find, wearing a hemlet seems to be going too far. I've yet to see someone who's not chucking himself down an almost vertical drop from a helicopter who doesn't look daft in one. It was this guys reaction though that I found odd. He thought it crazy not to wear one even on groomed piste. |

I wear a helmet to compensate for my enormous balls.
It looks funny and feels awkward ~ but I still prefer it to being retarded.

My skull is broken. Not from snowboarding though. I also doubt a helmet would have helped.

i dont wear a helmet.. but i have my kids wear one. I just ride..i dont jump or lose control too much..although i am sure my tits saved my breast bone form being snapped in half the other day...had a dude fall down right in front of me..we were both hauling ass, i clipped the end of his snowboard and was airborn face first..slam..my tits abosrbed the blow..my whole torso is bruised and sore... but head ok.
i feel kids should wear them.. they seem to have no fear....as far as adults go, its their choice, they know the pros and cons. |

im with fletch... if they only made ass helmets. last time i went snowboarding it hurt to sit down for a week or so. i have to wear a helmet when riding a bike or rollorblading at a state park by my house because someone fell and died from hitting their head so they made it a rule.

I hit the back of my head HARD the the icy hardpack and I went blind for 5 minutes, after I woke up. I was FREAKING out I thought I was gonna be blind for the rest of my life, scariest shit happening to me ever. So I wear a helmet if its really icy, I don't give a fuck if I look stupid.
