Re: [RC] helmet vents and sticks- Dawn - Truman PrevattI've learned over the years to approach low hanging limbs and we have them in Florida the same way a running back in football approaches a hole in the line that is closing - shoulders square and helmet down with full force going into the limbs. Most of the helmets have no vent holes in the top and by approaching them straight on - sticks are not very likely to get stuck in the holes.Back before I started "attacking" the limbs and tried to "duck" them I've had more than one limb reach out and grab me. Since I've started attacking them - haven't had the problem. Of course I've them go down the back of my shirt. That is not a lot of fun but at least they don't pop my neck that way. Truman Chastain, Shannon L. wrote: I had a friend get a nasty cut when a stick got into her helmet. The ride vet stapled it for her. Then the next week when she went to her Doctor to take the staple out he couldn't the did not have the "correct" tool to take them out she had to go to her local vet.
