Should helmets be mandatory?

What a tragedy…Natasha Richardson dies two days after falling during a ski lesson! After her fall, she was transported to the base of the hill on a rescue toboggan and within an hour developed a headache that obviously progressed at an alarming rate.

Right now the media will be looking for the positive spin, which would be: Should helmets be mandatory?
If you are a sports store or brain specialist, the media wants to hear from you immediately.

This morning on my radio show we opened the phone lines up and asked our listeners what they thought.
The lines were very definite. Men were 100% opposed to mandatory helmets for skiing.
Women were 100% for it.

I wear a helmet every time I ski or bike. Jayne (my co-host) has never worn a helmet and she snowboards.

I would love to know what you think. Leave a comment.
