Mounted search and rescue

["Raskin, Larry" <RASKILE1@APLMSG.JHUAPL.EDU>]

Hi Folks,

I agree that helmets are a good idea (yes Suzanne if your reading but I
still prefer my normal cover).  They are a great place to mount your
radio antenna. Suzanne has the picture (can send it if you are
interested). I made mounts for several of our team members.  This
improves both receive and transmit as the antenna is not on your side.
They might even make a team look more professional.

I contacted Troxel about a discount plan.  From Troxel, they offer the
SafeTech helmet to non-profits for $20.00 each if ordered one at a time
or $15.00 each if ordered in bulk (10+).  I assume these are white but
you can always make a cover to go on them (covers are a requirement for
winter riding).  I do not know how big a file I can post but I have the
form in a .pdf file.  If you want the form, send me a request and I will
send it to you directly or you can contact Troxel at (800) 288-4280 and
ask about Safetech Equestrian program for non profit organizations.

Just fuel for the fire,

Porter County Indiana just this last year went to helmets - they are 
required any time we are working (includes practices) as a division of 
the Sheriff's Dept. Until last year we wore the traditional western 
hats. The change was made when insurance carriers in our area starting 
looking into the possibility of not covering injuries that may have been

prevented or lessened by a helmet if the rider was not wearing one. Sue
