ouch ! I guess there's another thread somewhere on insurance.. would be interesting to hear the good/bad/ugly of insurance claims this season... i'm sure most of us base our decision mainly on price as it's difficult to find out which companies are reticent in paying out

The area where this happened is in view just above and right of the helmet, you can see our tracks where we came back onto the piste.

I'm not convinced that a bobble hat would have been much use :shock:


It would - you could put it over the helmet to keep his head warm where the hole is!

Should europe bring in the same law


Parents could be fined up to $25 if they fail to outfit their children with helmets on California's ski slopes under a bill passed by the Assembly.

The bill by Democratic state Sen. Leland Yee of San Francisco would require helmets for skiers and snowboarders under 18.

The Assembly adopted SB880 Thursday on a 42-20 vote, then returned it to the Senate for a vote on Assembly amendments.

Supporters say helmets will save lives and prevent head injuries. Critics say the bill infringes on parental responsibility and would be hard to enforce.

A companion bill by Democratic state Assemblyman Dave Jones of Sacramento would require children and ski-resort employees to wear helmets. It also would mandate that resorts prepare annual safety plans.

All children should wear helmets, Adults should stay optional
