First US state introduces ski helmet law
It may not be particularly famous for its ski areas – there are only three – but New Jersey has become the first state to adopt a law requiring children aged under 18 to wear a helmet when enjoying snowsports at one of those three ski areas. The law will presumably apply to users of North America’s first indoor snow centre, that has also been built in the state and is due to open as part of a giant $3 billion mall and leisure development in 2013.
