PA now allows bikers who have 2 or more
years experience, a motorcycle safety class and are over 21 to not wear helmets
on the road. This has resulted in reducing the number of dumb bikers substantially
as the one’s who don’t wear helmets usually die in the wreck. As to riding in a helmet—the rules
cover competition and to some extent search where you are not looking where you
are riding but somewhere else and trusting the horse to find footing. The
same applies to police patrol riders—they are looking for bad guys not
where to put the horse’s feet, and on some very treacherous surfaces. The reason most sanctioning bodies require
helmets in competition is injuries. Bad head injuries will get the
various events cancelled and then no more money and fewer horses sold. If
eventing could figure out a way for fences to fall down as easily as stadium
jumping there would be no controversy over injured horses. Irv From:
