Re: [RC] Coming Off and Helmets - Mary Ann Spencer
I can't quote the numbers but one of the most
important thing to protect is your head. Unfortunately, I have
broken 2 helmets falling off...like why else would I have broken them.
Both times were with an uncooperative horse. Both were after the age of
50. Medical specialists can put your arms and legs back together if the
parts still match but once the head is damaged, repair is limited.
I was happy to see
that Eric commented on having his helmet
on...................
The other safety
gear I have started wearing - all the time - is safety glasses. I got
some polycarbonate safety glasses that turn dark in the sunshine but are clear
at night. They have saved me quite a few times from low hanging branches
and debris kicked up by horses in front of me. I think they cost me
about 125$ at Walmart.
