Your skull can be fractured when impacted at a speed of less than seven miles per hour, so buy a helmet for any activity that might reach those speeds — and keep these expert tips in mind when you do:
Never buy a helmet that is too large. The front of your helmet should fit about two-thirds of an inch above your eyebrow.
Ski and snowboard helmets are designed for the slopes. Other sport helmets may not offer you ample protection.
The most important consideration when purchasing a helmet is the fit.
Be sure to have your ski or snowboard bindings adjusted correctly at a local ski shop.
