Helmets

[Ponyrub@aol.com]

Afriend of mine who is not on line asked me to share her experience with 
everyone in the hopes that it will get just a few more people to wear their 
helmets. She decided to just go "for a quick ride" with another friend. The 
ride was going to be a quick one so they wouldn't need their helmets,right? 
She and this friend were racing down a gravel road when her saddle started 
falling apart. She came off and split her head open. This was over a year 
ago, and after countless medications, mri's, and cat scans, she still has 
memory, balance and nausea problems. She has to wear a patch behind her ear 
most of the time. She considers herself lucky that it wasn't much worse, but 
she wishes she could turn back time and she would have had the helmet on. She 
also would like me to warn anyone not wearing one that if a short blonde 
woman named Dale goes off on them and physically jams a helmet on their head 
at a ride, she simply reacting from her own experience. PLEASE WEAR YOUR 
HELMETS!
