As far as snowboard/skiing it blows my mind that anyone would prefer anything but a helmet, even if you are not concerned about the safety benefits they are so much warmer then a toque/hat, your goggles generally fit/stay in place better.

Dunno I suppose its possible that putting on a helmet would drastically change how you ride but to me its like putting on a baseball hat or brushing my teeth. just part of the everyday.
The fear of death is one hell of a motivator to maintain a state of alertness. Helmets by their nature and design reduce this.
