Your children security
What's more important than the protection and safety on the ski slopes of our children.
The inevitable is now the headset and if the Nordic skiers have adopted over the past ten years, it is still underutilized in our ski resorts.
It is intended to protect the head shocks resulting from falls or collisions that could cause head injuries. The picture is clear, the most serious injuries occur frequently in the head, and the only one wearing a helmet can prevent most. The influx of skiers on the slopes during main holiday increases the risk of collision is ultimately the factor most common trauma. More than a board, its use is clearly necessary and binding in all structures of learning.
In practice:
1. Choosing your helmet: First the helmet must qualify for the CE EN 1077 certifying that the product complies with the regulations. We must be attentive to the ventilation and weight for maximum comfort. Your dealer is your best advice in this election
2. Changing your helmet regularly: You should know that all helmet lifetime of 3 years (standards), but in most cases for regular use, it should be replaced more often.
3. Choose a helmet size
A helmet is too small or too large will cause impaired protection.
Too small: Compression points and bad implementation on the cap.
Too big: Poor implementation and risk losing the helmet in case of violent fall.
It is therefore important to choose a helmet adapted to the morphology and size for maximum comfort and safety.
The usefulness of the mask?
The mask provides protection against the elements (wind, snow, cold, rain) but also against splashes of other skiers as well as ultraviolet radiation or direct reflection on the snow. The mask is preferable to sunglasses as avoiding injuries related to the case of the horse if you fall. A good mask and screen are fully able to deform without breaking. Wearing a helmet normally requires wearing a mask of the same brand for a perfect introduction.
The Sunglasses
The category system of protection is the same as for the masks.
The logic is to use a clear screen (1 or 2) in low light and a dark screen (3 or 4) for the weather. The glasses must sufficiently cover the eyes for not having a draft, watery eyes or in eyes.
The glasses should also be adapted to the morphology, ie they must take up without significant points of compression.
The back protection
Like the helmet, wearing a back protector is essential in the emerging ski (freestyle, freeride). The column is exposed and thus prevents the backbone of these injuries. Besides direct protection against impact, it also provides a cushioning and thus spread the impact. The ridges are now very light and comfortable from the moment we adopt, we do feel it even more. The comfort is total, then why deprive themselves of a product if necessary.
