Skiers and snowboarders must follow a number of safety guidelines in order to protect themselves and others on the mountain. One of the most important aspects of safe skiing is the use of a properly fitted helmet. Research conducted between 1995 and 2012 showed a direct correlation between increased helmet usage and a 28 percent decrease in serious head injuries. As of the 2014-2015 ski season, the National Ski Areas Association (NSAA) reported that nearly 80 percent of skiers and snowboarders used a helmet while on a mountain.
The practice of wearing a helmet has continued to increase in the United States for the last 13 years, highlighted by a 5 percent uptick from the 2013-2014 season. The NSAA reported that increased helmet activity occurred in younger riders as well, with a record 85 percent of individuals under the age of 18 wearing helmets for 2014-2015. Over the same time period, 97 percent of riders nine years or younger wore helmets while skiing and snowboarding.
