[RC] re: the proper way to wear a helmet - Judy HouleI am here to tell you, if you don't tighten your chinstrap, the helmet is useless. A loose chinstrap cost me a bumpy trip to the hospital on a backboard with a nasty concussion. The horse fell and I did a face plant, pushing my loose helmet up and exposing my frontal lobes. On another day, I had a Tipperary properly adjusted and fell at a high speed hitting the back of my head and splitting it all the way through. I had a mild concussion that would have been a fracture. Tipperary gave me a discount on a new helmet. ____________________________________________________________________________________ Got a little couch potato?
