I don’t buy that helmet use statistic. It is extremely rare to see a rider with no helmet at Whistler on the non park trails. And I’m pretty sure a helmet is mandatory in the park. Maybe the stat is 86% were only wearing a helmet, others were helmet and pads? Does a full face and no Leatt type brace provide any significant spine protection?
