I'm in the camp who think that a life doesn't have a price. Beside, where else the money will be better applied (other than charity)? It will certainly create new jobs in the helmet market.

>Because you need to do a cost/benefit calculation between the cost of requiring *all* skiers to buy and carry helmets vs. the benefit of saving the few who get injured in this way. It's a non-starter if you think it through. The same money, if it must be spent, could do much better applied elsewhere.
