You tend to climb with a helmet, right? You think that will do much of anything versus any rockfall bigger than a golf ball?

Did you ever meet Mike Paris back when you were competing? Guy wouldn’t be making Igneous skis these day if it weren’t for his helmet. Pretty sure Darren Glick wouldn’t be painting for Fitz after that fall he took in Slot Rocks in the comp a few years back if he hadn’t been wearing a helmet, either.

Not that they protect from everything, but there better than a hat. (Actually, I think a few helmets these days aren’t much better than hats, but that’s a whole different subject.)

You really think one of those is going to help when you are going twice as fast as he was?
