Kni Helmets

Insurers are supposed to be risk probability calculation experts. However, this news item in the free daily newspaper De Pers throws up some doubts:

Health care insurer Zilveren Kruis reports that the recent holidays have shown a 15% increase in skiing injuries in the 10-15 age group compared to the same period of 2007. The insurer recommends that children wear ski helmets to help prevent injury. The majority of injuries were lower leg and knee fractures.
