Canadian Ski Council announced policy on helmets

The Canadian Ski Council no recommends that skiers and riders now use helmets.
What is interesting is the statement that the policy was announced after a study showing 50% of all skiers and 90% of children are wearing helmets. So if that is the case the policy is not one based on safety but one based on going with the flow?
The policy cannot be verified by looking at the council's website. To read the press release see Canadian Ski Council Announces Policy On Helmets.
