"...considering all the data showing that helmets provide
protection against head injuries and given the inherent risk in
endurance riding it was in fact negligent not to require ASTM approved
Just as an aside, David and I have toyed with the idea of trying to
resurrect the Pendleton Challenge, which is held on a Marine base in So Cal,
as David has plenty of military contacts there. In the past, anyone coming
onto the base had to show insurance. If the conversations we've had with
the base cmdr there hold true, anyone entering the ride in the future will
be required to wear a helmet or leave. Might be an interesting trend for
the future in other areas.
