Head injuries among winter sports enthusiasts are on the rise. Research from the Dutch Ski Association reveals that one in ten accidents involves a head injury.
Yet many skiers and snowboarders hit the slopes with unprotected heads, citing excuses like helmets being clumsy, heavy, uncomfortable, or sweaty. Consider this: speeds on skis or snowboards often exceed those of a scooter.
Concussions are the most common serious head injury requiring medical attention. The Dutch Ski Association strongly recommends wearing a ski helmet to prevent these potentially life-altering injuries.
