    Carolyn, be careful of statements like saying "It doesn't Happen" sorry to be a wet noodle, but I don't like generalized statements. First off, have you any data that suggests that it doesn't happen? Secondly, I was given my first TWH because the owner was killed in a riding accident from head injuries and she was wearing a helmet. Freak happening? Perhaps. Or her time was up. But this happened in Ashland, Oregon a few years ago.
     
      I'd like to here from those of you that are saying that helmets
    > are dangerous and specifics as to why they are dangerous.Well, I would like to hear that one too.
