Re: [RC] [RC] Helmets - Carolyn Burgess
Amber:
When I said "it does't happen", I said someone killed BECAUSE they had the
helmet on, not killed with a helmet on. I know that helmets don't protect
from everything, but they do not cause injury, if worn properly. The girl
riding my Paint was almost killed, they took her off the property in a
helicopter, and she was wearing a helmet. But her injury is one of the ones
that a helmet is not good at protecting from.
The point to this was that those who wear helmets have reasons, protection
of there head being the major reason. Those who don't wear them also have
reasons, but not wearing one because it can cause injury has not been
supported.

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.
