Be safe, wear a helmet

a very careful person. Too careful. Highly risk averse.

I’ve only taken 1 hard fall off my bike. Ever (that I can remember). I lost a tooth in the process. Swallowed it actually.

I’ve only taken a bad spill once. It was on the driveway of my friends house when I was in first grade. I have a scar on my knee and one on my elbow to prove it.

I’ve never broken a bone.

I wear all the protective gear I’m entitled to. Helmet on the bikes. Knee/elbow pads, writs guards and a helmet for roller blades. Life jacket for water sports.

This past Christmas, I added ski helmet to my list of safety gear. And Sunday was the first day I used it. And the first day it protected my head. That’s right. On its maiden voyage, it protected my (gigantic) head. I bit it hard on some heavy powder. Basically my lower half stopped and my top have whipped around and smacked the ground – helmet first.

So, for all of you skiers and snowboarders, just get a helmet. I rarely fall and I’ve never hit my head before. Glad I had the helmet today!
