I gotta agree with your reasoning here. Although a helmet only protects a small portion of your anatomy,and only in some of the impact situations, it's still a very important part of your anatomy.
I have seen more kids at the loaf, just going headlong, fearless, normally with a father right behind him, going as fast as he can and never catching his son, screaming for him to stop. It seems I only see this at the loaf. A fearless kid, on a long wide open trail.... And they fall and get right back up and keep on going.....
I seem to remember the very first thing I learned about skiing was how to stop. Seems they skipped that part.
I actually remember an incident where I was probably in second grade or so and was skiing with my godfather. I was going down Flume and straightlined it from about halfway down all the way back to King Pine with tons of people on the slope. I sure caught an earful when my godfather caught up to me at the lift.
