Look at the actress a few years back that died from a head injury. Yes I know they look stupid, but I'd rather that and be able to ride the next 50 years, than to be dead

I ride the park as often as I ride the terrain outside the park and I can will attest to the fact that regardless of what you are doing you should wear a helmet.
I can without any exaggeration say that my helmet has literally SAVED MY LIFE.
Wearing a helmet snowboarding or should be like putting on your seatbelt.
Also for those that are going on a few seasons with their helmet do remember that a lot of helmets need to be replaced after a hard impact, or even repeated small impacts. So keep that in mind and if you think you need a new one, go out and buy it.
