I don't like wearing a helmet, I would rather ride with a soft cap. But with
that being said, I would encourge folks to wear a helmet. It only takes a
second and your could head would be meeting the ground. Death would be a
godsend, if you ended up being feed though a tube for the rest of you life.
I understand wearing a cowboy hat looks good and makes us feel good. But its
your health and your role as a SAR member, that should make you wear a
helmet. So you don't become part of the problem.
As I said, I don't like them, but have been starting to wear one.

Me too. However since there are about 5 of us that now wear helmets we
were successful in getting a motion passed that allows us to wear our
helmets in public appearances IF: 1- more than one of us helmet-wearers
is participating so it's balanced, and 2- we have off white covers on
them so we match the uniform cowboy hat.
Our county has already required that all ground pounders carry helmets
to call-outs and it's the CPs discretion whether they are required to
wear them in the field. (depends on terrain) I think it's only a matter
of time until mounted are required to follow suit.
