I did the same thing this year, I'm an experienced skier, been doing it since I was a little kid, probably for 35 years now, and this winter, just slowly coming to a stop, I over corrected a little at basically zero kmh, and fell backwards, nothing serious, but right at the end of the fall my head kind of fell back and I hit it hard on hard pack snow. Helmet took most of the impact, but I had a minor concussion for days afterwards. If I hadn't been wearing a helmet, I fear it would have been much more serious. Completely innocuous too. And to think for 30 of my 35 years skiing, I never wore a helmet. Nuts.
