You've been lucky so far.
According to what I've read, over 50% of American skiers wears a helmet and the number of accidents with head injuries has declined with over 50% since 2000...
Helmets offer better protection at low speeds than at high speeds but in both cases always better than not wearing a helmet at all....
Strangly only the number of injuries went down, not the number of deaths....
