helmets for u14s

Go skiing every year but havent been to italy in a while, headin in a week and half (yehoo) and a member of the party is 13. He doesnt wear a helmet, but is it still law for him to wear one now in Italy for family skiing? I know you might think he should but he doesnt want to so im just double checking
Cheers

Hi John,
He'll be disappointed - old link, but the law is all u14's in Italy

Tell him Seth Morrison wears a helmet, show him this:



and be done with it.

If that does not convince say a helmet probably saved this dudes life:



I know as an impressionable young dude the only reason he can possibly not want to wear a helmet is because he doesn't think it is cool or that all the other kids won't be wearing them. In Italy they will.

Got free helmets when in Arabba from the ski shop we got skis, boots and poles. Dont know what age you have to wear tham at.
