My husband is a novice rider and doesn't ride with me a lot, but I would like to get him a safe riding helmet.  I measured his head last night and was looking at some different helmets on line and he came in with his bike helmet.  It isn't a very safe helmet in my opinion, it is shaped more arrow dynamically and does not set down very far on his head.  He seems to think that it is sufficient and sees no need to get any other type of helmet.  His thought is "What is the difference between getting bucked off a horse or falling off a bike?"  So help me out here.  I don't feel that it is completely safe, but am I wrong?  Any thoughts would be appreciated.

Thanks
