[SIKSUKR]

Having had friends that lost their son at Laconia this past MC week after a crash w/o a helmet, Im not convinced it would have helped him at all in this case. Having said that, I always use one while mountain biking. Now to skiing. I never wanted to wear one skiing until Sonny Bono's death made me think about it. Besides, myself and the guys I ski with are hi speed skiers. I tried one and didn't like the the difference in hearing. Anyway, I wear it at all times now and would never go out without it now. Having said that also, I would never want it to be manditory. It's my choice and because I choose to does not mean others should have to, period!
