I totally agree. I really bothers me when I see young
parents riding with their young children & not
wearing helmets. I have said something to a few of them, but they
don't seem to hear. Guess they just think I am a fussy old lady & it
could never happen to them. Never say Never! I hope it never does,
but you never know. From someone who has been sent to emergency more than
once. I also refused to let them cut off my clothes.

Last month I fell off my horse and was knocked out

(yes I was wearing a helmet).
This reminds me of something at a ride this
weekend. I was taking start numbers and mentioned to my friend that I
noticed one of our riders had gone back to get his helmet. He is not a
junior any more and the rules don't require him to wear it but I jokingly said
don't tell him, cause it is a good habit to get into.
A couple of
teenaged girls were standing there and one of them said "helmets are really
overrated." I asked her how many people she knew who had died because
they weren't wearing one and she said none. I told her I knew two and
helmets were not overrated.
Later on a friend of mine told me
this..........The only people who need helmets are those who have
brains........mb
