Where to Ski And Snowboard -

Have your say in helmet study

28th July 2010, by Wendy King

Do you, or don't you?

A University student is inviting skiers and boarders to share their views on wearing helmets, whether they are ‘for’ or ‘against’ them.

The online survey has been set up by Mary Ondrusaz, an MSC student at the University of Surrey. Ondrusaz is carrying out a health psychology study and is seeking opinions about the use of helmets in snow sports – to discover why the pattern of use is so varied, and why some folk are so against wearing one, while others wouldn’t be without theirs.

Ondrusaz is keen to hear from a wide range of skiers and boarders, from beginner to expert; but especially from recreational and novice participants. The survey can be completed online (see the link below) and covers questions from your type of snow sport participation, to current helmet use (or not) and attitudes. It has been designed to be fairly quick and straightforward to answer.
