Safety vs. Style: The Skiing Showdown ⛷️
Our experienced skier protagonist is faced with a dilemma when their cousin and his girlfriend refuse to wear helmets on their skiing adventure. Despite their concerns about safety, they prioritize looking good in photos over protecting their heads. Our protagonist suggests alternative activities at the resort, but the couple argues for nearly an hour, insisting they should be allowed to ski without helmets. Eventually, our skier stands their ground and refuses to teach them, leaving the couple to mope around the resort. But now they’re left wondering: should they have taught them anyway, and let them face the consequences of their own choices? Let’s see what the internet thinks of this helmet-heavy predicament…
