This petition is meant to pursue a mandatory helmet use policy at ski resorts. Snow sports are known to be some of the healthiest and enjoyable activities one can participate in. Unfortunately, many beginners over look the safety factors involved in the pursuits of skiing/snowboarding and the possible injuries one can sustain while participating in the above mentioned activities, the other side of this issue is the avid enthusiast who feels their level of ability does not warrant the need for a helmet. Regardless of ability level, it is in the best interest of all parties involved to promote and enforce a helmet use policy. Many ski resorts are ill prepared to deal promptly with traumatic head injuries and should themselves promote the additional protection helmets provide. Without the use of Advanced Life Support, any head injury, severe or mild, can be life threatening and time is of the essence in diagnosing and treatment. This petition hopes to promote the need of a mandatory helmet use policy and the support of each individual signature included in this petition shows the opinion of the general public who wish to see this policy in use at all ski resorts where no such policy is in effect currently.

The ski resorts are ignoring the reality of brain injuries while riders keep getting hurt on their watch. We are almost at two hundred fifty signatures so get this link to everyone you know right now. Stop letting these corporations play games with our safety.

My son had a bad fall last year and that helmet saved his life. Should be required everywhere.

Too many people getting hurt out there because they think they look cool without one. It is just common sense.

I see so many little kids without them at the mountain. The resorts need to take some responsibility.
