COMIC: Why Snowboarders Don’t Wear Helmets

Me and the I. Hustla just got back from a ski vacation in beautiful Colorado. Needless to say, we had a great time! Skiing and snowboarding is similar to riding a bike, in that it’s inevitable that you will crash and hit your head at some point. Both of us own & wear helmets, in fact everyone who stayed in our house wears a helmet. While we were there, a newbie skier lost control on a green slope (the easiest kind of slope) and ran head-first into a tree and died right there on the mountain. My helmet saved my life once (it was an icy day at Timberline, West Virginia), and it has prevented some nasty slope rash several times…. slope rash is when your face drags along the icy slope, cutting into your flesh and leaving a “rash”.

Despite the clear danger on the mountain, the majority of snowboarders rarely wear helmets! It seems to me, if you have the technical skills to fly down a black diamond, whizzing through the trees, and putting yourself in serious danger, you should have the mental skills to wear a helmet! AaAaahHHhhhhdddDDdddDdddduuurrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr

After 1,000,000 interviews with snowboarders and thousands of hours of psychological research, I have discovered the true reason that snowboarders don’t wear helmets….

Text for the visually impaired:
There’s a picture of a snowboarder displaying the Corna with his hands (the Corna is commonly known as the Devil’s Horns, Satan’s Symbol, Goat Horns, or rock n’ roll symbol, given at concerts when the band rocks), and the bottom of his snowboarder says “I Love Dangerrrr”. The snowboarder is quoted saying “Dude, s’like I can’t be all lookin’ all gayz wit’ one o’dem dork indicators… I’ll just wait for a serious head injury or DEATH”
