New Canadian research finds that wearing a helmet while snowboarding or skiing cuts your risk of a head injury by at least 35%. The Alberta researchers found the benefits of wearing a helmet were about the same for skiers and snowboarders and for beginners and experts. Information on more than 45,000 skiers and boarders were included in this research: it found that just 20% of people who suffered a head injury were wearing helmets at the time.
