To wear or not to wear

Re: Skiing without a helmet

So you encourage everyone to wear an approved helmet. Well this is not a ‘to wear or not to wear’ a helmet argument.

There are two things we learn growing up in life:

1. As our parents raise us, they teach to respect our elders.
2. That the attitude of "do as I say not as I do" doesn't work.

So with that in mind, all the younger people skiing are looking up to you, not just for themselves, but for their children too.

In conclusion, either put up with all those people telling you why you should wear a helmet, or use a helmet to shut them up. Either way, a letter to Castanet with an argument as to why it is ok for you not to wear a helmet when skiing is the wrong way to go altogether.
