Inventor Constantine Sargentini of Lindenhurst, New York must have been struck with a moment of inspiration when he filed for this patent on June 17, 1985. US Patent #4,601,070 describes a stylish and functional “Novelty Ski Hat” with a little extra touch of style. The wearer of said beanie is imbued with an appearance of having been cranially impaled by a ski pole.
Be warned though, wearing such headwear is tantamount to crying wolf. Once skiiers become desensitized to seeing others whiz by with an aluminum pole firmly embedded into their cranium, what will happen when some powder-lover actually has an unfortunate encounter with a ski pole?
