I never ride without mine. Unfortunately most of my riding friends don’t wear them.

One of my good friends almost died because she wasnt wearing a helmet when she fell off. She had emergency brain surgery at primary children’s hospital in Salt Lake City Utah. I totally agree with this. Everyone should wear a helmet. No matter what discipline you ride.

Interesting that the photo is showing an example of bad helmet.

I’d like to see a rule/law passed that made helmets the rule. I’ve always ridden with a helmet and of course I’ve gotten the rude comments by some people who think it’s dumb to wear them.But I know I won’t be the one with mush for brains when I fall off.

I think that everyone should wear a helmet. I ride western and do barrel racing, so I know what it feels like to have people give you strange looks for wearing a helmet. I would rather keep my brains inside of my head, thanks!
