    [RC] re: helmets and friends - Cindy Collins


    I couldn't resist this thread...I have cracked two helmets on rides.  One
    at Death Valley and one at Halloween Horror.  I have lots of broken bones
    and none of them were caused by mean or wild horses...just **** happens
    kinds of wrecks when you are going fast cross country.  I, too, resisted
    helmets for years, but now I freak out when I get on a horse and realize I
    don't have one on.  I, too, have a very dear friend who means so much to
    me and she just won't wear a helmet.  I even gave her a very nice Troxel
    Gold.  This weekend she was bucked off her horse at a ride and took a
    terrible fall.  Although she was hurt, she didn't happen to hit her VERY
    HARD head.  If she had, I would have been over-wrought with guilt thinking
    there was some argument that I could have used to get her to wear one and
    failed to do so.  I really don't think that people realize how much it
    upsets the people who love them when they refuse to take such a simple and
    painless safety measure.  Cindy
