Ice climbing

Hey anyone watch direct tv 4 days ago? An expeienced rock/ice climber was teaching/lead climbing. They had head warmers on. NO PETZEL HELMETS
and guess what happened on tape yup leadclimber chunks out ice like ice never breaks loose after sticking a ice axe into it. The other climber was smacked in the head and said he was bleeding real good. On video tape! the lower climber kept complaining about being pelted w/ice. This guy should know better. Lead climber was about 20' above. Thats alot of kenetic energy.
 
helemets

from what ive seen a lot of climbers dont wear helemets (the only walls i climb just now are indoor and i dont), maybe when i venture outside when the rock is warmer i may wear one.
