This is the biggest piece of horse shit (pun) article I've seen in a while. They come in all sizes. If hair is so big that it requires a significantly larger size helmet the functionality of the helmet is compromised anyway. Change hair style. Decide between passion for riding and passion for big hair.
Or quit with the disciplines that "require" helmet use. I've been on a lot of horses, a lot of rank horses, bucking horses, a helmet has never touched my head. Course I may have lost some brain function from some of the wrecks but whatever. kek
Yeah me too, even worked on a ranch @ one point. I was more concerned about a horse rolling on me while gathering cattle in rough terrain or getting bucked off and screwing my back up.
I've been in some pretty spectacular wrecks and messed up but the biggest fear was always going over backward and horn to chest or not kicking out fast enough on a trip and roll. I'm sure we could swap stories for a while. o7
I'm with you. I've been riding most of my life (first time I was 3 and rode behind my grandpa on his horse). The only time I've worn a helmet was for a clinic that required it. I've been concussed twice, but I can't tell any lasting damage.
I'll also note that Christopher Reeves' helmet did him no good whatsoever...his neck was broken.
The only time a helmet would've ever helped me was when I was dash boarded into a metal pipe fence and hit head first. I'm not against helmets, I am just not going to ever wear one myself.

Yes sir you made a great point my fear also. I live in a ranching town you would get laughed out of the county for wearing a helmet.
