A couple of years ago, I took a direct hit to my head by a rock dislodged from above when a rope suddenly pulled tight between another belayer and climber. I had my brain bucket on, but still managed to come out with an 8 week concussion. Without the head protection, my partners probably would have had a very bad situation to deal with. Since then, I always wear a helmut. The old excuses don't seem to hold water anymore for not wearing a helmut (hot and heavy,etc). Oh yea, by the way, I CARE! PS. Know anything about "Smiley" ice screws? They look like Black Diamond chrome molys ..... but cost about $20 less. I'd like to hear from someone who has used them. Dan
