This Just In: Helmets Protect Your Head!
Sorry, this might be the cynic in us, but we found this recent study on the importance of helmets during snowboarding to be pretty hilarious. This isn’t to make comment against helmets, because they’re definitely one of the first pieces of kit you should be wearing before doing any kind of extreme sport… but what is fairly funny, is that a team of scientists felt they had to carry out funded studies in order to discover that wearing helmets reduces the severity of head injuries during snowboarding. Is this not fairly obvious??
The study was published recently in the Journal of the American Medical Association, and stated, among other things, that “six out of 10 head injuries could be avoided if everyone wore a helmet. If you’re smart, wear a helmet - if you want to stay smart.”
Well, obvious or not, we can’t argue with that.
