Safety
HELMETS
The FIS and SSGB have now made helmets compulsory
for all races organised under theri rules. The helmet
details can be found in the FIS
equipment rules 2007/08. For
the RAF 2008 Championships, approved design helmets are
mandatory for all snowboard races and for the Individual
(BASS) ski races. We strongly recommend and encourage
the wearing of an approved design helmet in all other
races. In addition, we endorse the wider use of helmets
during recreational skiing.

It is the RAF WSAA’s wish to make RAF sponsored
skiing and snowboarding (not just racing) as safe as possible.
There is an increasing move towards the wearing of helmets
at all times when skiing/boarding, a move which we strongly
endorse.
We do not recommend any particular supplier or safety equipment.
