- You should be wearing a helmet, in whatever sport you enjoy. I experienced second-hand how bad a head injury can be when not wearing a helmet. Take it from me and protect yourself while riding, please. Helmets are the one piece of protection you should be wearing over any other protective equipment. Thank you for watching!

The MIPS layer separates in a crash reducing the rotational impact load transferring through the helmet to your head. It stands for Multi-directional Impact Protection System.
What this guy said ^
I used to be young and stupid and not wear helmets. A huge emergency room bill in my mid 20s from a crash on my electric longboard finally changed my thinking. Started snowboarding a few years after that, got a helmet from the start and while it was definitely needed for those first few weeks of learning, I still very much appreciate it years later as an advanced rider. No matter how good you are, or how rarely you fall, sometimes shit just happens and you get bodied. Flat light can hide serious inconsistencies in the snow which can absolutely body you. Early season I once got positively wrecked by the tip of a baby tree sticking just barely out of the snow that I didn't see until it grabbed my edge and sent me. Snow can be really fucking hard, especially if your edge gets grabbed and you're effectively whipped straight into the ground.
Glad you’re okay!
This is my 20th season snowboarding. This will be my first year wearing a helmet! 🤙
Nice hope it’s a good season!
so so important
currently in my 3rd year of boarding and my hubby wouldnt let me do it without a helmet, the first thing we done was buy a brand new one before attempting
had a bad accident and tore my acl, i was super lucky i as i smacked my head too
Glad you’re okay! I’ve hit my head so many times and been fine thanks to the helmet. Keep shredding!
so damn important. it's so easy to die.
If you catch a heel edge bad enough one time, i guarantee your next purchase is a helmet lol
Real
Just hit my head on a super light edge catch and caught a minor concussion first day out 😂 helmet good
Edge catches are terrifying. Glad you’re alright!
I am riding for over 15 years. First 7 i was not using one, but for reasons ive been wearing one since it got mandatory for me to wear atleast. At this point I am like, your even got no chance of being a cool guy without wearing a helmet, how good your at riding may be. Newbies, invest for a helmet directly when you get out of the kindergarten slopes please.
Just got a new helmet today
#1 reason: bc mom said so
True that
