Even when they are training? I'd assume they would try to avoid as much injury as possible especially when training. Do they wear knee/wrist pads or anything on their back/butt to protect their spine?
The helmets are actually very tough. It takes a lot for them to crack. Snowboarders and skiers are quite resilient; especially snowboarders. Also, when they wipe-out it usually looks a lot worse than it is, because it's on snow, it usually doesn't hurt much.
