Your head glances off a rock without a helmet, you get away with a nice gash, maybe worse. If you happened to be wearing a helmet, you get away dazed and thankful you wore a helmet. Of course, if you smash your head into a rock in such a way that your neck breaks, it's doubtful a helmet is going to protect you. As a skiboarder, or any sort of snowslider, you accept that your sport is inherently dangerous. I mean, I always joked about non-releasable bindings until I finally broke my damn leg in them. Releasables probably would've saved me a lot of money, pain, and the season, but by no means are they the fix-all.
An ounce of prevention!
