Re: maybe we should talk about helmets for a while...

Seems to me that they are designed for different speed/type of impact and
wouldn't be as safe for horseback... like motorcycle helmets, it wouldn't be
safe to use a horse riding helmet on a motorcycle since it isn't designed
for that speed and impact if an accident were to occur...

guessing here... might be interesting for someone to poke into it and find
out for sure if it is comparably designed and safe...
