WHY SHOULD YOU WEAR A CERTIFIED RIDING HELMET ?
Horse back riding is a wonderful sport, but it does carry an element of risk.
Medical studies over the years have shown us some surprising things. Horseback
riding carries a higher injury rate per hour of exposure than many other sports. This
includes downhill ski racing, football, hang-gliding and motorcycle racing.
The age of the rider, number of years of experience, natural ability, and degree of
expertise cannot and do not prevent riding accidents. Rider deaths in falls were
caused by jumping in 23% of the cases; the rest occurred standing still, or at the
walk, trot, canter and gallop. The most dangerous horse activity is riding for
pleasure, based on numbers of participants injured.
The most common serious riding accidents affect the head; with the expanded
use of the ASTM Standard FEI Certified riding helmets by riders under the age of 21,
the largest group of head-injured riders has become ages 22 to 35. Many of the
most serious injuries and deaths happen to riders older than 35.
Medical Examiner reports show that 60 % or more of horse-related deaths are
caused by head injuries. Riding Helmets can reduce this possibility by 70 to 80 %.
Repeated blows to the head can cause cumulative damage to the brain; each new
accident expands the original damage. Unlike arms and legs, the brain cannot
recover 100% from an injury. A serious head injury can quickly use all of a person's
health insurance. The most catastrophic of these average a cost of $4,000,000, plus
a lifetime of suffering for both the injured person and his or her family.
