Re: skiing with helmet/faw!

I think air bags would be great for skiers. Could wear it on one's belly like on of those flotation devices.

Yeah, airbags. A good idea, but whoa! I've been seeing reports about
Volkswagons whose airbags go off when you hit a pothole. Not only can
that instigate an accident, but you have to pay to have them replaced at
something like $300 each. A sideairbag especially worries me. I've been
warned not to turn my head quickly because of the bad disks. A side
airbag could do me some serious harm. My car doesn't have them.

I did all those things before seatbelts and helmets were even thought of,
and my sons even raced motorcycles without helmets. However there
have been at least two incidents where seatbelts have saved lives in
our family that I wouldn't think of riding without them now. I'm terrified
of air bags, though.
