 CHICAGO (AP) - Helmets greatly reduce the risk of head injuries among skiers and snowboarders, a Norwegian study found.
Researchers hope their study, along with helmet-clad Olympic athletes like Shaun "The Flying Tomato" White, will lead to greater use of protective headgear on the slopes.
"Do as the Olympians do," said study co-author Dr. Roald Bahr of the Norwegian School of Sports Sciences in Oslo. "Wear a helmet, even if you're not an elite skier or snowboarder — especially if you're not."
