But you won't. I guarantee you that more lives will be saved if car passengers wear helmets, there's been deaths just today as a result but you're not going to wear a helmet next time you're in the car.
I rather thought we all did :D The common sense someone mentioned earlier you'd hope :lol:
I take your point... we could always do more to mitigate against potentially bad outcomes, but it comes down to personal choice and, to a degree, expedience. And for some people, it makes little sense to protect against an outcome they expect not to befall them.
aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaarghhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh :lol: :lol:
That was exactly the point I was making and have made a few hundred times before :D
No good wearing the headgear if you are not keeping an eye on the sky :wink:

I agree that the apocryphal tales of 'I know a bloke who...' warp the reality of the serious events per day of injury-free skiing.
Now, no-one wants to take a risk assessor with them on holiday. So we either trust the bald stats that, on any given day, the risk of what we do is acceptable; or we over-compensate with bits of plastic and padding...
