What makes skiing safer is people skiing in control, within their limits, and not taking silly risks. Wearing a helmet might not encourage people to ski irresponsibly, but it doesn't make them err on the side of caution either. People shouldn't treat the piste as a race track.

Horse riders wear helmets as a matter of course and think skiers should consider. started wearing a helmet about 5 years ago and had a dramatic fall in Courchevel 2 years ago i caught some ice and was sent hurtling over an un netted edge and fell about 30 feet-I know that if I hadn’t had a helmet my head would have taken a pounding-the helmet is comfortable and warm to wear and protects the head.
