Ride
with confidence—A certified equestrian helmet is
the smartest way to protect yourself while riding.
While no helmet will prevent all injuries, you’re
far less likely to suffer a serious head injury if
you’re wearing a helmet with ASTM / SEI
certification. Every helmet Troxel sells meets that
standard.
Among
Our most fervent riders (people who ride 6 or more
times a year), 13% have been hospitalized with a
riding injury. Your level of expertise doesn’t
protect you: The risk of injury is tied to
cumulative riding time, not level of expertise. - From
Troxel's website.
Anyone
can have an accident. The trail suddenly changes.
Wldlife jumps out of nowhere. The fence trips our
horse. A horse kicks out at another while you're
feeding two of them. Anything can happen, and happen
fast. 20% of accidents happen during non-riding
activities, or as a bystander. Wear your helmet when
around horses even if you are not mounted.
Troxel
has been spending as much effort on comfort as
safety, so people will wear these helmets. And for
that, we applaud their efforts.
When
you take a fall, a certified helmet absorbs
energy by its crushing, and extending your heads
stopping time to reduce the peak impact on the brain
significantly. Head injuries are the most common
reason for equestrian-related hospitalization and
fatal injuries.
The
helmets are built to compress and fracture on
serious impact. A broken helmet is not a sign of a
faulty one — in fact, they may crush or crack as
they absorb the energy that could otherwise cause
you serious injury.
You
will enjoy this helmet. Who says one riding helmet
is enough anyway? God
Bless, Cultured Cowboy.
