Re: [RC] Riding helmets - don't use bike helmets - Barbara McCrary
I'm planning to replace mine soon. It has
never taken a hit, but it is looking ratty, and I'd bet the Styrofoam has lost a
lot of its integrity. I can't begin to remember how old it is, but I use
it every time I get on a horse, no matter how well behaved.
AND, while I am at it. REPLACE any helmet that
takes an impact. They are ONE TIME USE ONLY safety items. One
you receive a blow to the head, get a new one. Many reputable
companies will provide a low cost replacement if it is
needed.
A curious question, should a helmet be replaced on time alone whether it
has taken a good knock or not. I have been using my present helmet for
about 7 years. Should I replace it as it ages ?
